Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former presidential candidate for the New Nigeria Peoples Party and leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, has reiterated his dedication to his political objectives, stating that he will not compromise his values for personal benefit.
His statements came after Chronicle NG reported that Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf, along with other local government chairmen, members of the House of Representatives, and aides, had resigned from the NNPP.
Addressing party supporters at his Kano home shortly after the governor resigned on Friday, Kwankwaso stated that his long-standing political struggle has always been for the emancipation of common Nigerians.
“I’m not for sale. Our political convictions keep me grounded. If I were in it for personal gain, I would have taken the easy route, and you would be looking for me elsewhere, not in this place,” he said.
He mentioned that the Kwankwasiyya Movement had been sustained by shared values rather than material incentives.
“Our shared vision is what keeps me going. If I were motivated by greed, I would have taken the money and run, and you would not be here showing your support,” he added.
Kwankwaso also asked his followers to start mobilizing early for the 2027 national elections, warning against complacency.
“We need people like you who have sacrificed and stood by the truth. You should not relent, because one day, we will achieve our objectives,” he said.
Speaking on recent developments in Kano, the former presidential candidate emphasized the necessity for rapid measures.
“Going by what is happening in Kano today, we need to start preparing because there are people hell-bent on destroying what we built over time,” he stated.
Kwankwaso reaffirmed his views and assured his supporters that he would remain steadfast.
“My mission is to always fight for the ordinary people. I will not compromise with those who exploit the masses,” he said.
