Former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso rejects claims that he is working in President Bola Tinubu’s interest ahead of the 2027 presidential election. In separate reports, Kwankwaso says the allegations are untrue and dismisses the insinuation that he is aligned with Tinubu’s re-election plans. He also challenges statements attributed to the Kano state government, including comments linked to the actions or positions of the state’s spokesperson. The reports frame Kwankwaso’s response as a clarification of his political stance as political debate intensifies toward the 2027 election. While the outlets do not present evidence supporting the accusations, they consistently cite Kwankwaso’s denial and his position that he is not acting on behalf of Tinubu. The dispute centers on Kwankwaso’s relationship, if any, with Tinubu’s political camp and whether Kwankwaso is playing a role in Tinubu’s electoral ambitions. Both accounts portray Kwankwaso as seeking to correct public perceptions created by the circulating claims.
