Kwankwasiyya Accuses Atiku’s Camp of Trying to Discredit Obi, Kwankwaso

The Kwankwasiyya Movement has accused former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s camp of attempting to undermine Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso through its political statements.

The movement’s spokesman, Dr Habibu Sale Mohammed, made the allegation during an interview on Trust TV on Monday, according to the supplied report.

Mohammed argued that statements from Atiku’s camp were aimed at damaging the reputations of Obi and Kwankwaso rather than addressing genuine concerns about Nigeria’s political situation.

He maintained that the statements were intended to weaken the two politicians and mislead Nigerians who were dissatisfied with the current government.

Kwankwasiyya Says Atiku’s Camp Is Trying to Damage Obi, Kwankwaso

Mohammed described the alleged strategy as an attempt to reduce the political standing of Obi and Kwankwaso, whom the movement identifies as its presidential candidate and running mate, respectively.

Explaining the movement’s position, he said:

“Atiku’s strategy is to de-market our presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabi’u Kwankwaso,” he said.

Mohammed further argued that the statements attributed to Atiku’s camp went beyond ordinary political criticism.

He alleged that they were intended to defame the two politicians and mislead Nigerians. These claims represent the Kwankwasiyya Movement’s position and have not been independently established in the supplied report.

Habibu Sale Mohammed Accuses Atiku’s Camp of Trying to Deceive Nigerians

The Kwankwasiyya spokesman said Nigerians should examine the statements coming from Atiku’s camp and consider what he described as their underlying purpose.

He argued that the statements were not genuine accusations but efforts to diminish Obi and Kwankwaso politically.

Mohammed explained his position in the following words:

“If you analyse exactly the modus operandi of the camp of Atiku Abubakar, you will discover that all those statements are not actually accusation, but rather an attempt to defame, diminish, and also to deceive Nigeria,” Mohammed said.

His comments placed the movement’s criticism on the alleged intentions behind Atiku’s camp’s statements. The supplied report, however, does not provide Atiku’s response to the allegations.

Kwankwasiyya Questions Atiku’s Campaign Outreach

Mohammed also criticised what he described as Atiku’s approach to campaigning, claiming that the former vice president had not been meeting Nigerians directly or visiting states to campaign.

He questioned when Atiku had scheduled direct meetings with Nigerians or travelled to different places to present his political commitments.

The spokesman contrasted this with what he said were the activities of Obi and Kwankwaso, whom he described as travelling across the country to engage with people.

Mohammed said:

“The reality before us is that, we have never seen where and when Atiku has scheduled meetings with Nigerians, reach out to Nigerians, visited states and places to campaign directly,” he said.

He then compared Atiku’s alleged campaign approach with the activities he attributed to Obi and Kwankwaso.

Mohammed added:

“Whereas we have seen, on the other hand, how Peter Obi and my Rabi’u Kwankwaso have been moving around this country, reaching out to people and making commitments to the people of Nigeria.”

The comments reflect Mohammed’s assessment of the politicians’ campaign activities. The supplied report does not independently verify his claims about their respective schedules or outreach efforts.

What Kwankwasiyya’s Allegations Mean for the Political Dispute

The Kwankwasiyya Movement’s comments highlight a dispute over how political figures are presenting themselves and their opponents to Nigerians.

Mohammed’s central argument is that statements from Atiku’s camp are intended to weaken Obi and Kwankwaso rather than contribute to meaningful political debate. He also questioned Atiku’s direct engagement with voters.

However, the supplied report presents the movement’s accusations without a response from Atiku or his representatives. The allegations about political motives and campaign activity should therefore be understood as claims made by Mohammed, not as independently confirmed findings.
