Kwankwaso Declares January 23 as "World Betrayal Day" After Yusuf's Defection

Former Governor of Kano State and leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Kwankwaso, announced that January 23 will now be commemorated as "World Betrayal Day" after Governor Abba Yusuf defected from the NNPP to the APC. Yusuf's departure, along with 21 members of the Kano State House of Assembly and other officials, was attributed to internal crises and leadership disputes within the NNPP.

The defection occurred shortly after Yusuf's meeting with APC leader Bola Tinubu in Abuja, fueling speculation about his future political moves. Kwankwaso's decision to mark this date as a day of betrayal underscores the deep rift within the political landscape of Kano State.
