The leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has raised concerns over the Tinubu government’s preference for Lagos State against other states of the federation.
To this end, Kwankwaso accused Lagos of attempting to dominate other regions in the country, particularly Kano, because of the overwhelming support it receives from the central government.
Kwankwaso alleged that Lagos is meddling in Kano’s internal matters, including the selection of its emir.
He made the claims during a speech at the convocation ceremony of Skyline University in Kano on Sunday.
“Today, we can see very clearly that there are significant efforts from the Lagos axis to colonise this part of the country. Lagos wouldn’t allow us to choose even our Emir; instead, they want to impose their own Emir on Kano,” he stated.
Kwankwaso, whose main target was President Tinubu, said further: “Lagos today feel they only are Nigeria, interfering in other states’ affairs. We will not tolerate such actions here in Kano.”
Kwankwaso’s comments reflected deeper concerns about the alleged regional imbalance in governance and traditional institutions, particularly under the current administration of President Bola Tinubu.
Many believe that the administration of President Tinubu has given more attention to Lagos State, with trillions of naira projects being awarded to the state to the detriment of other states.
