Kwankwasiyya Urges US Congress to Drop Kwankwaso’s Name from Bill

The Kwankwasiyya movement has called on the United States Congress to remove the name of former Kano State governor and NNPP leader, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, from a proposed legislative bill currently under consideration.

In a strongly worded statement, leaders of the Kwankwasiyya movement described the inclusion of Kwankwaso’s name in the proposed US bill as “misleading and politically motivated,” insisting that the former presidential candidate has no connection to the issues referenced in the draft legislation.

The group said linking Kwankwaso to the bill could create diplomatic misunderstandings and damage his international reputation.

“We urge the United States Congress to immediately remove the name of Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso from the proposed bill. He has no involvement whatsoever in the matters cited, and such reference is unfair and unjustified,” the statement read.

The movement further argued that Kwankwaso, who contested the 2023 presidential election under the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has consistently promoted democratic values, peaceful political engagement, and national development.

According to the group, associating him with any controversial legislative move abroad amounts to political mischief and an attempt to tarnish his image ahead of future political activities.

The Kwankwasiyya movement also called on diplomatic channels to clarify the matter and prevent what it described as the internationalisation of domestic political disagreements.

As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official response from the US Congress regarding the demand, nor has the full content of the proposed bill been publicly detailed.

Kwankwaso remains a prominent political figure in Nigeria and leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, with a strong support base particularly in Kano and parts of northern Nigeria.
