Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former governor of Kano state and leader of the Kawankwasiyya political movement, shocked millions of his supporters on Monday night when in a no bar declaration said he has not anointed any candidate for the 2023 gubernatorial race in Kano.
Kwankwaso’s latest stand was a subtle vote against the 2019 gubernatorial candidate, Abba Kabir Yusuf who had grown in strength and political stamina over the past few years in Kano.
The leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement in unmistakable terms at a stakeholders meeting held at his palatial mansion declared “The party (PDP) and the Kwankwasiyya movement are yet to decide on its flag bearer for the 2023 gubernatorial race in Kano”.
But on Thursday, the Wali faction gathered at the Kano Foundation House with delegates reportedly from the 448 wards and 44 local government areas of the state where Muhammin Bako Lamido, a former PDP chairman for Dala LGA, emerged as the state’s party chairman.
Speaking to journalists, Lamido said: “My position before was chapter Chairman in Dala Local Government, then we have a forum of LG Chairmen. And by our constitution, we are automatically members of the excos.
“When we had a vacuum in the state leadership, we took over as caretaker excos. But, this is the first time we are going to hold an election.
