Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf Denies Rift with Mentor Kwankwaso, Rejects “Stand on Your Own” Campaign

Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has firmly denied rumors of a rift with his mentor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement.
Yusuf dismissed allegations that Kwankwaso exerts excessive influence over his administration, calling such claims “baseless.” He emphasized his loyalty to Kwankwaso, describing their 40-year relationship and rejecting the notion of any conflict.
Yusuf also criticized the “Abba Tsaya da Kafarka” (Abba, stand on your own) campaign, led by a faction within the NNPP, as an “insult to loyalty.” He urged supporters to abandon the divisive slogan, asserting that respect for elders remains foundational in Kano’s values.
NNPP leadership recently suspended two officials for alleged involvement in the campaign, while Yusuf stressed that Kwankwaso’s support is vital to his administration. “There is no rift,” Yusuf concluded, calling for unity and mutual respect among supporters.

Kenneth Okonkwo Says Peter Obi Betrayed Him by Supporting Abure Group

Veteran Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo has opened up about what he calls a betrayal by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party. In a recent interview with Symfoni, Okonkwo revealed that his decision to quit the party earlier in February 2025 was influenced by Obi’s actions during a leadership crisis within the party.
Okonkwo, who once served as a spokesperson for Obi’s presidential campaign, said the former Anambra State governor ignored his counsel and returned to support the Julius Abure-led faction—despite ongoing controversies surrounding that group. He explained that Obi was misinformed by party executives who claimed that the Abure-led camp had been recognised by INEC. But in his view, Obi’s move went against everything he had previously stood for.
“Any serious politician knows how not to be misled,” Okonkwo said. “But in this case, it was Obi who betrayed me. I warned him—these people are not democratic. INEC recognition isn’t enough reason to return to a group that goes against the values you publicly uphold. If you align with them again, you risk your political credibility and everything you’ve worked for.”

“I’ll Keep Giving Tinubu Haters High Blood Pressure” – Wike Says

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to keep unsettling those who oppose President Bola Tinubu by continuing to deliver impactful projects across Abuja. Speaking at the commissioning of key roads including the Arterial Road N16 and other projects in the Katampe district, Wike said he now fully understands how much resentment some people have for the President’s achievements since taking office in 2023.
According to Wike, a recent moment while watching TV opened his eyes to how deeply some critics are affected by Tinubu’s progress. “Something just moved me to switch on the TV, and I saw the anger and pain on people’s faces,” Wike said. “Now I get it—some people are really hurting. So I’ve taken it upon myself to increase their blood pressure with more good work.”
He added that while critics stay bitter, he and others will keep enjoying the results of their efforts. “We’ll be smiling, moving around freely, while they stay mad and frustrated. That’s my new mission,” he said. Wike thanked President Tinubu for leading what he described as a development revolution in the FCT.
