The Kano State Government has cautioned Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s followers not to abuse or make offensive statements about Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the Kwankwasiyya movement’s leader.
Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Director General of Media and Publicity at Government House, Kano, made the warning on Saturday while distributing motorcycles to party members at the Open Space Theatre, Government House.
Governor Yusuf was present for the event.
Bature stated that the government will not allow disrespect or indiscipline directed at Kwankwaso, citing his major contributions to Kano politics despite current political changes.
He warned that anyone discovered abusing the Kwankwasiyya leader would face repercussions, emphasising that such behaviour would not be tolerated.
The government spokeswoman asked governor supporters to exercise caution and political maturity, particularly in light of mounting tensions in the state following recent political realignment.
He noted that the Yusuf government is concerned with maintaining peace and unity among its supporters, emphasising that political disagreements should not devolve into personal attacks.
Bature also reminded party members that respect for leadership and internal discipline are critical to political stability and good governance.
