Former Kano State governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has refuted allegations that he is overseeing the state's operations under Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

Speaking with BBC Hausa, Kwankwaso clarified that there is no discord between him and the governor.

He stated that they both share a foundation of mutual respect and understanding in their political journey.

Kwankwaso elaborated that well before the 2019 elections, they had mutually agreed that Abba Kabir Yusuf was the most qualified candidate to lead Kano, which is why he received full support to campaign for the governorship.

The former governor mentioned that Governor Yusuf has been granted complete autonomy to fulfill his responsibilities as he deems appropriate. He indicated that only political troublemakers are perpetuating rumors that he controls the government or manages contracts within the state.

“What I know is that prior to the 2019 election, we thoroughly evaluated who was most capable, and we entrusted him with the opportunity. Now he is doing what is right. Those who claim that I run the government or handle contracts are simply spreading falsehoods,” Kwankwaso stated.

He added that within their political framework, offering counsel to the government occurs only when the governor requests it. He emphasized that no one interferes with the daily operations of the Kano State government.

Kwankwaso also remarked that there is no friction between him and other legislators in their party, explaining that their primary responsibility is to represent the people and strive for improvements in their lives.

“Our system is founded on mutual respect and providing advice when necessary. Everyone has their own responsibilities, and no one is compelled to take on another’s duties. We have allowed everyone the freedom to perform their roles—how they utilize that freedom is their choice,” he noted.

He reaffirmed that their shared objective remains the advancement and peace of Kano State, as well as fostering unity and mutual respect among their supporters.
