The Kwankwasiyya Movement has expressed deep sadness and worries over recent comments against their leader, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, by Asari Dokubo, describing the statement as insulting and absurd.
Dr Habibu Sale Muhammad, the spokesperson of Kwankwasiyya, in a statement issued on Thursday, said they have taken note of the reckless and deeply offensive remarks made by Asari Dokubo against Kwankwaso.
“We wish to state, without ambiguity, that such comments are not only false but a desperate attempt to distort reality, mislead the public, and inject needless division into Nigeria’s already sensitive political climate.”
“To allege that Senator Kwankwaso would ‘Sell Muslims for kobo kobo” is as absurd as it is insulting.
“It is a statement completely detached from both his record and his lifelong commitment to justice, equity, and the upliftment of all Nigerians irrespective of religion, ethnicity, or region.
“Senator Kwankwaso’s political journey has been defined by service, integrity, and a consistent stand against oppression and marginalisation”, Dr Mailemo hints.
The Kwankwasiyya noted that it is important to remind Nigerians that leadership is measured not by loud rhetoric or inflammatory outbursts, but by verifiable contributions to human development, education, infrastructure, and inclusive governance areas where Kwankwaso’s record remains visible and enduring.
“We view these comments as part of a broader pattern of distraction and an attempt to shift focus from the real issues confronting Nigerians: economic hardship, insecurity, and growing inequality. Resorting to baseless attacks and divisive narratives does nothing to address these challenges; it only deepens mistrust and undermines national cohesion.”
He assured that the Kwankwasiyya Movement will not be drawn into the gutter of abuse and propaganda, especially from those whose history and background speak more of violence, criminality and illegality perpetrated against our nation in disguise as freedom fighting. However, we will firmly resist any attempt to malign our leader or rewrite history through falsehoods.
“We call on all well-meaning Nigerians to reject politics of bitterness and misinformation.
“Our democracy deserves mature discourse, issue-based engagement, and leaders who unite rather than divide.”
Dr Habibu Sale Muhammad reminded us that Nigeria belongs to all of us. No individual or group has the monopoly to define the destiny or loyalty of any religious or social group.”
“The Kwankwasiyya Movement remains resolute in its commitment to building a just, united, and prosperous Nigeria for all.”
