”Please don’t drag me into NNPP crisis in Kano”- Kwankwaso

The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) Presidential Candidate and leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has said he does not want to comment on the ongoing internal crisis rocking the party in Kano State.
Senator Kwankwaso said this on Tuesday when asked by journalists at his Miller Road residence on the ongoing internal crisis the ruling party in the state is battling.
He vehemently refused to talk about saying he had nothing to say about the issue.
“I don’t want to talk please. Don’t drag me into what I am not supposed to be dragged into. The chairman of the party has spoken and has been speaking, reach out to him,” he said.
It could be recalled that an internal crisis in the party resulted in the suspension of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Abdullahi Baffa Bichi and the Commissioner of Transportation, Muhammad Diggol by the party on Monday.
The party chairman, Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa, on Monday said the suspension followed alleged disrespect to the party, abuse of power, office and disloyalty to the party.
Recall that the suspension came barely an hour after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf led a reconciliation between the SSG and the aggrieved members of his constituency.
The SSG had also dissociated himself from the ongoing campaign instigating the separation of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso under the guise of ‘Abba Tsaya da Kafarka’ meaning; Abba stand on your feet.
This is as a result of the rumour that Rabiu Kwankwaso is the person ruling the state from behind and the governor is just taking instruction and directives on how to run the affairs of the state.
