Kwankwaso's Aide Denies Urgent Medical Travel Abroad Amid Political Tensions in Kano

Former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso's spokesperson, Captain Mansur Kurugu, refuted claims circulating on social media that Kwankwaso was flown abroad for urgent medical attention. The aide, Saifullahi Hassan, dismissed the medical rumors as politically motivated to create panic.

Kwankwaso's visit to Kano was highlighted, emphasizing his commitment to political and public duties despite ongoing rivalries with Abdullahi Umar Ganduje's son, Abdul Aziz Umar Ganduje. The political landscape in Kano intensifies as Kwankwaso's protege, Abba Kabir Yusuf, defects to the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP), reshaping the state's politics ahead of the 2027 elections.

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf warns against insults towards Kwankwaso, prompting calls for unity and discipline within the political sphere. The developments reflect the growing political tensions and realignments in Kano State.
