By Abba Dukawa POLITICAL realignment can be a strategic move, adapting to changing circumstances or priorities. While some see it as betrayal, others view it as evolution or growth. It depends on the context and motivations behind the shift . The public fallout between Governor Yusuf and his political mentor mirrors familiar fractures from Kwankwaso’s past, notably his bitter split with Abdullahi Ganduje. Once again, a protégé has chosen a different path. The question is whether AKY’s move represents calculated independence or a strategic checkmate in a long political chess game.

Our Correspondent With due respect to Engr. Buba Galadima—an elder statesman and long-standing actor in Nigeria’s political arena—his assertion that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf cannot secure a second term without Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is analytically weak, misleading, and dismissive of Kano State’s deeply rooted political culture.

His influence is real and well earned. However, to suggest that Kano’s political future is permanently contingent on the shadow of a single individual,…

Abba Dukawa In politics, defections are common; betrayal of one’s roots is not. Abba Atiku’s actions raise serious questions about judgment and loyalty, casting a shadow over the values expected of those seeking public trust. This was not merely a politician switching parties. It was deeply personal and symbolic. A crossing of lines, not just carpets—a rejection of lineage, political heritage, and continuity. The image of Atiku Abubakar’s son pledging loyalty to Tinubu was unsettling, with consequences extending beyond party politics into the heart of family bonds. Party defections happen every day; defections of blood are far less common. That…
