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 Asks Peter Obi to Say How He Betrayed Him After Leaving LP

Kenneth Okonkwo has fired back at Peter Obi, challenging him to explain how he was betrayed after he left the Labour Party. Speaking on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, the former Labour Party Presidential Campaign Spokesman made it clear that while he worked for Obi, his loyalty was total.
“I never spoke to any politician or political party while I worked for him. I was 100% committed,” Okonkwo said. He explained that when he decided to step away, he made it public and stated clearly that he would no longer speak for Obi.
“People throwing words around don’t even understand what betrayal means,” he added, noting that whatever anyone says about him reflects who they are, not who he is. Okonkwo left the Labour Party in July 2024, following his frustrations with the party’s internal crisis and Obi’s silence on the issues.
He also dismissed claims that he collected money or property from Obi during the campaign. Reacting to Obi’s recent remarks, Okonkwo pointed out that comparing the situation to Jesus and his disciples makes it seem like Obi sees himself as Jesus. “How do you betray someone you’re no longer working for?” he asked.

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.”
