Leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and former Kano State governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has said his political bloc deliberately accepted a 60 per cent share in its power-sharing arrangement with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), even after being offered a larger 80 per cent stake.

Kwankwaso disclosed this while addressing supporters at his residence in Kano, in a video shared on Facebook by his media aide, Saifullahi Hassan.

“In the presence of the national leadership, they offered 80 per cent but we said no and took 60,” he said.

He explained that the decision was guided by a desire to promote inclusivity and broaden participation within the political alliance.

“We said to them that our goal is for everyone to join us, that is why we took 60,” he added.

Kwankwaso said the arrangement was consistent with earlier political negotiations undertaken by his group during past alignments, including their transition from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“When we came from PDP to APC that time, we had government and we did the same 60-40 sharing formula,” he said.

He also gave details of how positions were distributed at the local government level, noting that concessions were made to maintain internal balance.

“Every local government we had the 44 chairman position but because they insisted so we offered them 10 and retained 34, but in the 10 we offered we will retain the vice chairman post,” he stated.

The former governor urged members of the Kwankwasiyya Movement to remain patient in the distribution of political appointments and avoid unnecessary pressure for positions.

“Don’t say you must be everywhere or insist on a particular person when that person may not even be eligible, we must be patient,” he emphasised.
