The National leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has expressed deep anger over what he described as an unprecedented injustice, saying he could not recall witnessing such treatment in his entire political life.
Kwankwaso, in a video shared on Facebook by his aide, Saifullahi Hassan, while addressing supporters at his Miller Road residence in Kano, recalled the intense political, legal and personal battles that trailed the 2019 general elections.
He lamented that it would have even been better for the Governor to move with the hard-earned mandate to a new party like the African Democratic Congress, ADC, rather than its enemies.
According to him, “Since I have been in my life, I can’t remember where such a thing (injustice) has ever been done.
“It is even better to say today that it is ADC, a new thing that they went to, but not to our enemy, is a new thing; today it was not taken away by the enemy. Look at the struggle we fought in 2019, look at the inconclusive elections, look at the courts.
“There is an Igbo man, former Senate President, Pius Anyim. When the crisis started, someone told him about it, and he called me immediately. I went to him, and even before we exchanged pleasantries, he asked me whether the story he was hearing was true. I told him it is true.
“I have forgotten that in 2019, I took the Governor to all Supreme Court judges in this country to solicit their support. We visited them in their villages.
“I have forgotten that when we went to Ebonyi during Christmas, he accommodated us. He asked, “Is it not that boy you brought along with you?” He said that since he was told about the development, until that moment, he couldn’t eat because of the broken heart. That was someone in Ebonyi,” Kwankwaso, however, stated.
