Galadima further claimed some powerful politicians from Kano had visited Tinubu to support them in removing Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. He also alleged that some rich men supported the governor's removal.

The Kano-born politician said he expected Tinubu to be smarter by asking them why they could not win the election in the state in the first place.

Galadima's comment followed the alarm raised by the NNPP's national leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, who accused the Tinubu-led federal government of listening to the "enemies of Kano" on the royal tussle.
