Speaking during an interview on Global Television on Wednesday, Kwankwaso said only foolish people would say that.

Recal that Sanusi Bature, spokesman of Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf, had said that Kwankwaso was working for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election behind the scene.

Reacting, Kwankwaso said, “I think only foolish people would believe that.

“They have been saying it, especially when we are in the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP. Now, they will realize we are very serious people.

“I’m not conversant with anybody working for anyone. We are working for the NDC and our blueprint is there for everybody to see.

“They are things like what we intend to do, ranging from tackling the insecurity to the issue of education among others.”
