Former Kano State Governor and national leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has declared that he is open to forgiving his political son, Governor Yusuf and reconcile with him, adding that his affection for his former protégé has not diminished.
Speaking in an interview with BBC Hausa, Kwankwaso stated that the door to reconciliation remains open. He also noted that Governor Yusuf was the one who chose to leave their political fold and that he would not turn him away if he decided to return.
Recall that the duo fell out in Kano State, causing Governor Yusuf’s exit from the fold.
Following their fallout, the former Kano State governor argued that Yusuf’s electoral victory was made possible by the strength of the movement. He said, “We picked Abba to contest under the NNPP and we won, but he left to join the people we defeated.
Kwankwaso said, “I still love Abba and I didn’t reject him, he is the one that left. So not just Abba, if anyone who left comes back, I won’t be unforgiving. Look at Ganduje, in the many years we worked together, we fell out several times and got back together. That is how politics works.”
Speaking further, he stressed the importance of a forgiving heart as a leader. He said, “As a leader, you need to have an open heart. You cannot force people to think the way you do because we all come from different backgrounds and have different perspectives. Without forgiveness, we would not have come this far.”
