Rabiu Kwankwaso has criticised politicians leaving NNPP for APC, calling it a betrayal of voters’ trust. His remarks reflect frustration over recent defections threatening the party’s stability in Kano and beyond.
- Kwankwaso described post-election defections as the “greatest political sin” against the people who voted in hope.
- Warned that attacking the Kwankwasiyya Movement would meet strong resistance, calling it a “solid wall”.
- Urged grassroots mobilisation, stressing that NNPP is rooted in public service, not appointments or financial reward.
Kwankwaso’s comments hit a nerve in a system where voters often feel abandoned after elections. His defence of loyalty reflects a deeper desire to restore dignity and consistency in politics, values that many Nigerians still yearn for.
Can NNPP rebuild trust and retain loyalty amid growing defections? And will voters hold defectors accountable at the next polls?
