NNPP’s Rise To Power In Kano Politics
He was elected governor twice and demonstrated courage and resilience in almost everything that could bail the commoners from the shackles of poverty, illiteracy and hopelessness.The average Kano citizen believes that Kwankwaso always thinks of the people’s plight first rather than advancing the struggle for self-aggrandisement.
Likewise, the second citadel of knowledge he established was the North West University now Yusuf Maitama Sule University aimed at giving opportunities for the whole of North West students to study and achieve their ambitions in life. This loyal political fans’ group has even followed him as he has switched parties. In particular, his move in 2013 from the then-governing Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress, the current ruling party.
At one stage, a merger had been suggested between the duo of Kwankwaso and the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi who hails from the South-east. Some said such an alliance stood a chance of wresting power from the APC but at last, it crashed because the two could not reach a tangible and conclusive agreement.
