Rabiu Kwankwaso, the former governor of Kano State, has disclosed that Nafiu Bala did not attend a scheduled meeting between them.
It was understood that the meeting’s goal was to find solutions for the problems hurting the African Democratic Congress’s (ADC) leadership and operations.
Kwankwaso, however, was said to have stated that he spent the entire night waiting for Bala to show up for the meeting, but the lawmaker failed to do so.
In an interview with DCL Hausa, Kwankwaso urged the Emir of Gombe, along with other Emirs and Sheikhs, to persuade Bala not to act against the ADC’s interests.
Kwankwaso, who just defected to the ADC, said that Bala’s absence was a lost chance to provide the young politician with fatherly guidance.
“Yesterday, I waited till morning for Nafiu Bala, but he never showed up. He won’t arrive, they informed me. Kwankwaso said in the interview, “I wasn’t happy about it.”
“I told him that he shouldn’t turn into the lizard at the mouth of the pot,” he continued, using a sharp regional metaphor.
Kwankwaso revealed that he intended to counsel Bala “like father to son,” pointing out that the politician, who was born in Gombe, is a young man who was born in 1990.
Bala’s actions about the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and democracy, he cautioned, “will not help him.”
Additionally, the former governor of Kano State urged Gombe lawmakers and leaders to summon Bala to order.
“Whoever spots him ought to tell him to stop bringing issues to the ADC.
He is reportedly from Gombe. “I asked the Gombe Emir, as well as other Emirs, politicians, and Sheikhs who know him, to speak with him,” he stated.
According to reports, Bala has been vying for the ADC leadership position, leading the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to de-recognize David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola as the party’s leaders until the legal dispute over the ADC’s national leadership is being resolved.
