Kwankwaso speaks out about his alleged disagreement with Yusuf Kano Gov.

Here is a formal paraphrase of the text:
Senator Rabi’u Kwankwaso, the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate in 2023, has formally addressed and refuted the persistent claims alleging a discord with the Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf.
In an interview with BBC Hausa, Kwankwaso dismissed the reports, firmly asserting that there is no existing rift among himself, Governor Yusuf, or other senior members of the state government, contrary to the narrative being disseminated by certain politicians.
He clarified that Governor Yusuf’s selection was based on demonstrated competence and a deep-rooted loyalty to the Kwankwasiyya movement.
“There is no point of contention between Governor Abba and myself,” Kwankwaso stated. “We entrusted him with the opportunity to govern, and he is executing his duties commendably. The reports are merely the handiwork of mischievous individuals attempting to fabricate division where none exists.”
He further explained that the Governor was deemed the most qualified candidate after careful consideration, dating back to 2019, and that the leadership continues to offer its full support.
Addressing specific rumors, Kwankwaso concluded: “Those making claims that I exert control over government contracts or administer the government are simply being disingenuous. In the fullness of time, the veracity of the situation will become evident.”
