When I Came Back As Governor In 2011, Everybody Knew That Ado Bayero Was Not Supporting Us–Kwankwaso

According to the report from the Vanguard, the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso addressed the debate surrounding the possibility of introducing a tenure-based system for Emirs, acknowledging that both sides of the argument have some merit.
