Leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has congratulated Governor Abba Yusuf on his 63rd birthday, reflecting on what he described as decades of shared political struggle and service to Kano State.
In a message posted on his verified social media handles on Monday night, Kwankwaso recounted Gov. Yusuf’s political journey under his mentorship, highlighting the various roles he played across different administrations.
Kwankwaso noted that Gov. Yusuf first served as his personal assistant during his first tenure as Kano State governor and later when he was a minister.
He said Gov. Yusuf subsequently rose to the position of principal private assistant before being appointed commissioner during his second tenure as governor.
The former governor added that Gov. Yusuf’s progression through these roles underscored his contributions to the vision and programmes they jointly pursued for the development of Kano State, culminating in his emergence as the state’s executive governor.

Kwankwaso also offered prayers for the governor, asking God to grant him wisdom, good health, and clarity of purpose as he continues to lead the state.
The birthday message comes amid heightened political tension in Kano State, where recent developments have continued to shape public discourse around leadership, loyalty, and the future of the Kwankwasiyya political movement.
