Former Governor of Kano State and Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Senator Rabi’u Kwankwaso, on Friday slammed some key members of the party who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing their actions as a betrayal of the movement and party.

Kwankwaso spoke at his Miller Road residence in Kano, while receiving hundreds of supporters from the Takai Local Government, who refused to join the APC.

Saturday Telegraph recalls that Senator Abdulrahman Kawu, who represents Kano South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, recently defected to the APC, along with some federal lawmakers from Kano State.

“But those who won the election among us decided to abandon the masses and join those who do not have the masses at heart but are only after what they will get for themselves and their families.
