I Will Not Compromise, I’m Not For Sale – Kwankwaso Vows As Gov Yusuf Resigns From NNPP
Former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has alleged that there are people hell-bent on destroying the party.
His remarks come amidst the resignation of the Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, from the party.
Speaking to party supporters at his residence in Kano shortly after the governor’s resignation on Friday, Kwankwaso vowed to remain committed to his political ideal, declaring that he would not compromise his principles for personal gain.
“Going by what is happening in Kano today, we need to start preparing because there are people hell-bent on destroying what we built over time.
“I’m not for sale. Our political convictions keep me grounded. If I were in it for personal gain, I would have taken the easy route, and you would be looking for me elsewhere, not in this place,” he said.
He stated that his political struggle had always been aimed at the emancipation of ordinary Nigerians.
He noted that the Kwankwasiyya Movement had been sustained by shared values rather than material incentives.
Kwankwaso also urged his supporters to begin early mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections, cautioning against complacency.
“We need people like you who have sacrificed and stood by the truth. You should not relent, because one day, we will achieve our objectives,” he said.
Reaffirming his position, Kwankwaso assured his supporters of his resolve to remain steadfast.
“My mission is to always fight for the ordinary people. I will not compromise with those who exploit the masses,” he said.
