Tinubu’s Minister: “Kwankwaso Is No Longer Active In Kano, He Is Trying To Join APC For Survival
Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s political significance in Kano State politics has been disregarded by Yusuf Ata, the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development.
Ata claims Kwankwaso is attempting to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) in order to stay relevant because he is no longer a desirable politician.
During a courtesy call on APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje at the party’s national secretariat on Tuesday in Abuja, the Minister reportedly made this statement.
He also said that the red caps that stand for Kwankwaso’s “Kwankwasiyya” movement had abandoned him, and that his power in Kano has drastically diminished.
Kwankwaso is no longer involved in Kano. His sole goal in joining the APC is to survive. Mr. President has his own records at the grassroots level. Ata stated, “He is no longer appealing or a substitute.
He also warned that the return of the former governor might cause a problem within the APC and noted that the APC does not require Kwankwaso’s assistance to win the 2027 election for President Bola Tinubu in Kano.
Ata said that he personally would not welcome the former governor back into the APC unless instructed to do so by Ganduje, despite claims that he would follow Kwankwaso wherever he goes politically.

“When Kwankwaso was governor in 1999, I was a member of the House of Assembly. I’m familiar with him. We have no deal unless our father [Ganduje] agrees to make room for him,” he stated.
Speaking during the visit, Ganduje made more tactful remarks, stating that Kwankwaso would be accepted if he chose to join the APC.
Nonetheless, he concurred with Ata that Tinubu may win Kano in 2027 without Kwankwaso’s help.
Kwankwaso was called “a stranded politician” by the APC chairman.
That is precisely what happens when a fish runs out of water. The fish must find a way into the water if it is drying out. That’s what’s going on.
“I won’t claim that we’re not prepared to greet him. Being a big brother in a large household, I believe it is morally correct to make accommodations for your son when you see him running to where he would find refuge. “A friend who is in need is a friend,” Ganduje remarked.
