Former Kano State Governor and National Democratic Party (NDC) vice-presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has said he will not forgive Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf over what he described as betrayal.
Kwankwaso stated this in a viral video while addressing party supporters who paid him a courtesy visit in Kano.
The former governor said although he could forgive people who wronged him in the past or might do so in the future, he would find it difficult to forgive those he personally helped to attain political positions but later betrayed his trust.
“I can forgive those who wronged us in the past, and those who can do it in the future, but don’t think I can forgive those whom I helped to become something and ended up betraying us,” he said.

Kwankwaso alleged that some individuals he helped to attain political positions, including advisers, commissioners, ambassadors and even a governor, later turned against him politically.
He said some of them, despite appearing on the ballot paper, chose to support another candidate, describing the action as a betrayal that would not be easily forgotten or forgiven.
“Some of them became advisers, commissioners, ambassadors and even governor, and decided to vote for Omologo, not us, despite being on the ballot paper,” he said.
Kwankwaso maintained that such actions represented a serious breach of trust, stressing that he could not simply forget or forgive what he described as political betrayal.
