Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has let out a warning to his estranged benefactor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso thus: Don’t push me to the wall.
The governor let out the warning over alleged frequent attacks coming from Kwankwaso, stating that his silence should not be misconstrued as cowardice.
“For us, Kano peace is our priority, but if we are pushed to the wall, we will open our mouths and talk. Silence is not a sign of fear”, Governor Yusuf stated while addressing party supporters in Kano.
The event was the official affirmation of Sulaiman Kawu Sumaila as the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for Kano South.
According to Governor Yusuf, further push would make him open his mouth, he stated.
“For us, Kano peace is our priority, but if we are pushed to the wall, we will open our mouths and talk. Silence is not a sign of fear.
“To even keep quiet is an act of worship, not because we are afraid, not because we are kids. How could a 69-year-old call a 63-year-old a kid? It is just a personal respect that you are slightly older than me.
“However, if an old man does not respect himself and keeps quiet, the younger one will have what to say.

The Eagle reports that there has been no love lost between the two ever since the governor defected from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC),
It was with a shock that many people reckoned the Dr Kwankwaso’s absence earlier in the year at the 63 birthday celebration of Governor Yusuf.
