Supporters of the Kwankwasiyya movement from Nasarawa Local Government Area (LGA) of Kano State on Sunday paid a solidarity visit to the residence of former Kano State Governor and leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, in Kano.

Kwankwaso disclosed the visit in a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, where he expressed appreciation to the delegation for their continued support amid recent political developments.

According to him, the visit reflected the courage and determination of his supporters to remain steadfast in the ideals of the Kwankwasiyya movement despite prevailing political challenges.

"I reaffirm my profound appreciation for their unwavering courage and determination. Despite the recent trials that have tested the faith and fortitude of many, they have chosen to stand firmly with us -- not for personal gain, but for the collective progress and well-being of our people," Kwankwaso stated.

He described the loyalty of the visitors as rooted in their commitment to the people-centred philosophy of the Kwankwasiyya movement, which he said prioritises social justice and inclusive governance.

Kwankwaso assured his supporters that the movement remains focused and resolute in the pursuit of its objectives.

"Together, we remain resolute in upholding and advancing the timeless ideals of Kwankwasiyya. The journey continues, and victory is assured by the grace of God and the will of the people," he added.

The visit came amid heightened political tension in Kano following the resignation of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, alongside 21 members of the Kano State House of Assembly, eight members of the House of Representatives, and the 44 local government chairmen from the NNPP on Friday.

The mass defection was attributed to unresolved leadership disagreements and lingering legal disputes within the party.
