Bature Is Treacherous, Lacks Upbringing Says Deputy DG OK Movement
The Deputy Director General (North) of the OK Movement, Prince Abubakar Suleiman, has described the newly appointed Kano State, Commissioner for Information, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, as treacherous and lacking in upbringing, over his constant attacks on the National Leader of the Kwankwassiyya Movement, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and his family.
Suleiman made the remarks in Abuja on Monday while reacting to Bature’s recent outburst against the family of the Kwankwassiyya leader.
According to him, Bature lacks home training and proper upbringing to speak about Kwankwaso.
“Bature is not well cultured and lacks proper home training to talk about Kwankwaso,” Suleiman said.
He added that Bature’s conduct shows deprivation and a lack of respect for those who helped shape his life and career.
Suleiman said the blame was not entirely Bature’s, but that of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, who, according to him, gave room to a known treacherous character to speak against his benefactor.
“It is not Bature’s fault, but Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf who gave room to a known treacherous character to talk about his benefactor, who did everything for him in life, including making him governor,” he said.
He maintained that Kwankwaso remains the political benefactor of many leaders in Kano State, including those now attacking him, and warned that such attacks would not diminish Kwankwaso’s standing among his supporters.
Suleiman said power is transient and that one day Bature would be out of power. Instead of focusing on the job he was appointed to do, he has elevated eye service and hypocrisy to impress his boss, Governor Abba.
“This is not how to impress your boss, by attacking his benefactor. Kwankwaso will not descend so low as to join issues with his boss, the governor,” Suleiman said.
“The governor chose to do what he did, and Kwankwaso too has moved on and is attending to bigger issues about our nation.”
He added that Bature cannot be in the class of Kwankwaso’s last born, talk less of Mustapha, who, by God’s grace, will be the next Deputy Governor of Kano State come 2027.
Suleiman called on supporters of the Kwankwassiyya Movement to remain calm and focused, and not to be distracted by what he described as ungrateful attacks.
