The defection of former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, from the ruling All Progressives Congress to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party has continued to generate debates on the social media.
Representing Kano Central at the Senate, Kwankwaso and a handful of senators had defected to other parties on Tuesday, following what pundits have described as “interesting news” in the run-up to the 2019 general elections.
Trouble started when Muhsin Ibrahim tweeted his opinion about the senator’s defection, noting that the Presidency and other party leaders must have been shocked:
Kwankwaso ya bawa Buhari ƙafa! His defection to PDP must shock not only @MBuhari but also others he met last night at the Villa. Interesting time ahead, esp. in Kano politics. I doubt if Ganduje can survive the merger of Kwankwaso & Shekarau. What a marriage of convenience!

The tweet has since generated responses, while others have gone ahead to make fresh tweets of their own concerning the issue.
See the responses:
The way FG and APC treated Kwankwaso was suicidal and an insult. It's like supporting and backing Ambode and sidelining Tinubu. Ridiculous decision and calculation. The most powerful Northern politician only behind Buhari (some think otherwise) is out of their party. Tragic

That’s ur point of view

With the present exodus, I believe APC now is "out of the words". @KwankwasoAmana has succeeded in scoring himself by pitching his tent with the disgusting mai-malafa. @MBuhari , @NGRPresident, @aoshiomhole ride on.

Kwankwaso was a governor when he found APC, he didn't came to APC because he was unemployed, APC didn't make him, he help make the APC~~~Adam Oshiomole in a video clip last night.

I’ll choose Kwankwaso over Buhari every freaking day, even in my worst nightmare. It’s not even a dilemma!

Oshomole visited Kwankwaso several times in his house to plead with him not to defect,even took him to PMB to further plead with him,insisting that he is too important to APC,suddenly after Kwankwaso's defection today, Oshiomole said has no electoral value.This guy no get shame!
