The Director General Media and Publicity to the Kano State Government House, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, has criticised former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, over his decision to leave the NNPP.
Bature, in a reaction posted on his official Facebook page on Sunday, described Kwankwaso’s decision as a betrayal of Mr. Boniface.
“Since I joined politics, I have never seen a greater lesson than this. The only reason people say we were betrayed is because we left the NNPP.
“We did not say we left the Kwankwasiyya movement, nor did we abandon its ideology, and we did not stop wearing the red cap.
“It has now become necessary for us to pray for the Leader, because today he has betrayed himself by leaving the NNPP,” Bature said.

He added that they are now all in the same position, stating that everyone has in one way or another, betrayed Mr. Boniface, and prayed for God’s guidance and forgiveness.
On Sunday, former Kano State Governor and the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, announced his resignation from the party with immediate effect.
In a statement he personally signed, Kwankwaso said his decision followed careful consideration of the country’s political direction and the need to align with a platform offering better prospects for national transformation.
He described his time in the party as an honour, noting that the decision to leave was difficult.
Last month, the Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, a known loyalist of Kwankwaso, also left the NNPP for the APC, a move widely interpreted as a betrayal of his political mentor.
