According to a report by Daily Post on Monday, May 18, 2026, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, a former Governor of Kano State and leading member of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, has spoken on several political and social matters during a media session held at his residence in Kano on Sunday.

During the interaction, Kwankwaso discussed issues relating to insecurity, political disagreements, education policies, and past political confrontations within Kano State and across the country.

The former presidential candidate used the opportunity to reflect on political developments over the years and experiences gathered during his time in public office.

Speaking on political relationships, Kwankwaso expressed disappointment over what he described as betrayal by some individuals who were once among his trusted political associates.

He stated that some long-standing alliances had broken down over time, adding that such experiences had shaped his understanding of loyalty and trust in politics.

The former governor also reacted to questions concerning remarks linked to the current Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, especially regarding political defections.

Kwankwaso dismissed concerns surrounding defections and political movements, insisting that such developments should not be exaggerated.

He maintained his position on disagreements within the party and ongoing internal political issues.

Kwankwaso also revisited programmes introduced during his administration, particularly educational support initiatives that provided scholarships and sponsorship opportunities to students.

He noted that some beneficiaries of those programmes later adopted political positions different from the movement that supported their educational advancement.

According to him, the development formed part of his broader concerns regarding loyalty, commitment and responsibility among beneficiaries of government-backed opportunities.

He further spoke on governance challenges, including insecurity and previous political confrontations that continue to influence political relationships and public discussions within Kano State and across Nigeria.

On national political matters, Kwankwaso commented on discussions surrounding an alleged agreement involving Peter Obi over a proposed single-term presidency arrangement.

He explained that such understandings were part of wider political negotiations and strategies among political actors.

He said, “We have an agreement with Peter Obi that he would serve for only one term, but if he later say he would go for a second term. Let him continue – we know how to handle that.”
