Former Kano State governor, Ibrahim Shekarau, has said Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf should not be accused of betrayal if he defects from the New Nigeria Peoples Party NNPP, arguing that such a move would follow a precedent set by Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso himself.
Speaking in an interview with DCL Hausa , Shekarau reacted to growing tension within the NNPP and Kwankwasiyya political movement following reports that Yusuf may be considering a move to the ruling All Progressives Congress APC.
Shekarau faulted Kwankwaso's recent remark that Governor Yusuf should relinquish his mandate before defecting, describing the position as inconsistent with past political actions.
