Regional dynamics, ethnic considerations, and the struggle for power rotation are further fueling defections, as politicians position themselves for influence and relevance in the evolving political order.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Addressing a gathering of supporters from Takai Local Government Area who refused to join the APC at his Miller Road residence in Kano on Friday, Kwankwaso commended his supporters for their steadfastness in the party and for rejecting all the inducements from the ruling party.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He said, \u201cKano South is a lesson. Voters rejected spaghetti, N200 and Atamfa (wrappers) and were patient to vote for the NNPP.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cBut those who won the election among us decided to abandon the masses and join those who do not have the masses at heart but are only after what they will get for themselves and their families.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThere is no worse political sin than leaving the party that gave you the opportunity and support, but later you abandoned the party. This is the highest level of betrayal.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The former governor commended the returning members for having the courage to retrace their steps, describing their decision as a reaffirmation of loyalty to the movement. He also warned that those who abandoned the Kwankwasiyya cause would come to regret their actions in due course.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Myke Agunwa As more politicians defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) across the country, national leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":107550,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-118629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>2027: Defection, Worst Form of Betrayal - Kwankwaso - Pointblank News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/2027-defection-worst-form-of-betrayal-kwankwaso\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"2027: Defection, Worst Form of Betrayal - Kwankwaso - Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"By Myke Agunwa As more politicians defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) across the country, national leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/2027-defection-worst-form-of-betrayal-kwankwaso\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-05-10T20:44:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kwankwaso.webp\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"699\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/webp\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/2027-defection-worst-form-of-betrayal-kwankwaso\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/2027-defection-worst-form-of-betrayal-kwankwaso\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Our Reporter\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/#\/schema\/person\/ba61acbe7e8967bcf3f3ba603d9db23c\"},\"headline\":\"2027: Defection, Worst Form of Betrayal &#8211;
