Kwankwasiyya crisis: Abba, Abdussalam flout Kwankwaso ‘s stance, receive defiant supporters
POLITICS DIGEST– Despite earlier declaration that Kano PDP has not endorsed any candidate for the 2023 election by the party leader Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, supporters of his anointed candidate in the 2019 elections Engineer Abba Kabir Yusuf have continued to endorse his candidature.
In a recent video, Abba’s running mate in the 2019 elections Comrade Aminu Abdussalam was seen adding the Slogan “Kano sai Abba” to supporters who came to pay homage from Fagge local government, while Abba watched with enthusiasm.
Similarly social media activists have continued to portray Abba as the most eligible person for the job all in defiance to the order from Senator Kwankwaso known in the circle as Madugu.

The Kwankwasiyya movement that controls the greater part of the Kano Peoples Democratic Party PDP was involved in internal wranglings after a former commissioner and ex chief of staff Dr Yunusa Dangwani began moves to contest the 2023 elections.
Those supporting Abba Kabir popularly known as Gida Gida showed stiff resistance and that led to the former governor Engineer Kwankwaso to suppress the intense situation.
Efforts to reach Comrade Abdussalam for comments were not fruitful at the time of filing the report.
However a Kwankwasiyya stalwart who prefer anonymity when contacted by POLITICS DIGEST expressed shock that in spite of the warning by the leader, many have refused to comply with instructions which will not augur well for the movement and the party in the future.
He said there are plans by the Abba Kabir’s camp to embark on a solidarity visits from local governments to the candidate starting with Gwale from next week which could further fuel discord among the Kwankwasiyya adherents.
