A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Austin Okai, has criticised Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf over the removal of a political aide linked to Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The governor recently sacked his Special Adviser on Political Matters, Sunusi Surajo, who is known to be loyal to Kwankwaso. This came shortly after Yusuf announced his exit from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
Governor Yusuf later appointed Mustapha Bakwana, a former aide to ex-Kano governor and APC leader Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, as Surajo’s replacement.
Reacting on Sunday via his Facebook page, Okai expressed disappointment, saying the political support Kwankwaso worked hard to secure was now being handed over to Ganduje, Kwankwaso’s long-time rival.
According to Okai, the latest move shows that Governor Yusuf is shifting allegiance and aligning with Ganduje after benefiting from Kwankwaso’s backing during the elections.
He described the situation as a clear example of how power politics works in Nigeria.
