Kwankwaso, who contested in the 2023 presidential election under the New Nigeria Peoples Party, had raised concerns during a constitutional amendment dialogue in Kano on Thursday.
He warned that the government was concentrating resources in the South, worsening poverty and insecurity in the North.
He also decried the state of infrastructure, especially federal roads, recounting a recent ordeal where a cancelled flight forced him to drive from Abuja to Kano through Kaduna. Describing the experience, Kwankwaso said, “It was hell.”
In response, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare, dismissed Kwankwaso’s remarks as unfounded.
