The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has strongly condemned the act of defecting to rival political parties after winning elections, describing it as the “greatest political sin.” Speaking at his residence in Kano, Kwankwaso criticized recent defections from the party, particularly those of Senator Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila and Rep. Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, who recently joined the All Progressives Congress (APC). “There is no greater political sin than turning your back on the people who rejected deceivers and stood by you,” Kwankwaso said. He emphasized that the Kwankwasiyya movement is people-driven and not motivated by financial gain. “This movement is one to be proud of. Its mission is clear: to empower the people,” Kwankwaso stated. He also warned political opponents not to underestimate the strength of the Kwankwasiyya movement, calling it “a solid wall” that cannot be easily broken. Kwankwaso recounted how some politicians attempted to destabilize the Kwankwasiyya movement in 2015, but the movement survived due to its strong ideological foundation and the resilience of its supporters. “Some joined us with dishonest intentions,” he said. “But thank God, the movement did not derail.” The NNPP leader also criticized voters in Kano South who allegedly traded their votes for spaghetti and ₦2,000 during elections, contrasting them with the steadfast support from Kano’s poor masses. “Those who try to fight us soon realize how tough it is,” Kwankwaso warned. Kwankwaso concluded by congratulating new NNPP members from Takai Local Government Area and urging them to remain committed to the cause of uplifting the common man.
