Suggestion that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has a deal with President Bola Tinubu over the Supreme Court’s verdict bordering on Kano State has drawn the reaction of the former governor.
The rumour followed the outcome of the apex court’s judgment that ruled in favour of NNPP governorship candidate, Gov. Abba Kabir Yusuf on Friday contradicting the Election Tribunal and the Appeal Court.
Kwankwaso dismissed the charge on BBC Hausa Service.
“All I know is that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is my contemporary. I joined politics at the same time as him in SDP. Then he was a senator and I was serving as the deputy speaker of the House of Representatives. In 1999, he was my colleague as the governor of Lagos State.
“We founded the APC together and we participated fully in the struggles which followed up. People should know that a lie has a short life. Despite the machinations those people staged, the judges have done what is right.
“There is no problem. They have their party; we have our own. We will work together where necessary. On the issue of joining the government, only time can tell,” he said.
