On Wednesday, September 20, the Kano Governorship Election Petition Tribunal declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of the March 18 election.
Reactions have followed the development.
Reacting to the court verdict, Moses said Kwankwaso should not be pitied because he “betrayed” Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Moses wrote on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle:
“I don't sympathise with him at all. Kwankwaso and his people should carry their own cross. He betrayed @atiku for Bola Tinubu because he was expecting ministerial appointments. Let's see what happens in Port Harcourt.”
