Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, national leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and former governor of Kano State, has declared that he remains incorruptible in politics, insisting that no individual or group can buy his conscience.
Kwankwaso made the statement while reflecting on recent political developments, touching on issues of loyalty, betrayal, and the overall state of politics in Kano State. He said his long years in public service had taught him that politics naturally comes with gains and losses, but warned that betrayal often carries serious consequences.
“I have no price tag,” Kwankwaso said. “No one can buy my conscience. Politics is about service, principles, and sacrifice, not personal enrichment.”
The NNPP leader lamented what he described as growing political betrayal and opportunism, noting that such actions often provoke public anger, particularly at a time when many citizens are deeply dissatisfied with governance and leadership outcomes.
According to him, politicians who abandon principles for short-term benefits risk losing the trust of the people, adding that public resentment tends to follow acts perceived as disloyal or self-serving.
Kwankwaso also stressed the need for purposeful leadership, urging political actors to remain committed to the welfare of the people rather than personal or factional interests.
His remarks come amid ongoing political realignments and heightened tensions in Kano State, where loyalty shifts and internal party disputes have continued to shape the political landscape.
Kwankwaso, a former minister of defence and two-term governor of Kano State, remains a central figure in northern Nigerian politics and a key voice in discussions about political integrity and reform.
