Galadima labels Yusuf’s defection ‘worst betrayal’
NNPP chieftain Buba Galadima has described Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf’s defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the “worst betrayal in the world,” saying it should be officially recorded.
Galadima spoke on Tuesday during an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time, reacting to Yusuf’s resignation from the NNPP on January 23 and his formal return to the APC the following Monday.
‘Record it in Guinness, call it World Betrayal Day’
The elder statesman, who is over 75 years old, said the act was so egregious it should enter the Guinness World Records. He jokingly proposed that January 23 be designated annually as World Betrayal Day.
“Governor Yusuf’s defection was done for his personal interest. It is a betrayal to the people of Kano,” Galadima said.
“I have grey hair on my head. If I could shed tears on anything, it must have touched me beyond expression because I don’t give in to sentiments,” he added.
Historical comparison
Galadima compared Yusuf’s defection to some of history’s most infamous betrayals, saying:
“This betrayal is the third in the history of humanity. It follows Judas’ betrayal of Jesus, and the second was Brutus against Caesar.”
Background
Governor Yusuf resigned from the NNPP last Friday and formally rejoined the APC on Monday, marking a significant political shift in Kano State.
