Kwankwaso Laments No-Show at His Meeting With Nafiu Bala, Calls on the Gombe Emir and Other Emirs, Sheikhs to Advise Against ADC Involvement, Urges Him Not to Turn Into the Lizard at the Mouth of the Pot.
Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has expressed disappointment after waiting until dawn for Nafiu Bala, describing the absence as a missed opportunity for fatherly counsel while publicly calling on the Emir of Gombe and other Emirs, politicians and Sheikhs to intervene and advise the young politician.
In his interview with DCL Hausa, Kwankwaso said he stayed up all night expecting Bala to arrive but he didn’t show up.
“Yesterday, right up until dawn, I was waiting for Nafiu Bala, but he didn’t come. People told me he will not come. I wasn’t happy about it,” Kwankwaso stated.
He added a pointed local metaphor: “I told him that he shouldn’t turn into the lizard at the mouth of the pot.”
Kwankwaso, who had planned to advise Bala “like from father to son,” noted that the Gombe-born politician is a young man born in 1990. He warned that Bala’s actions involving the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and democracy “will not help him.”
“Whoever see him should advise him to remove his hand from bringing problems to the ADC,” Kwankwaso urged.
“They say he is from Gombe. I called upon the Emir of Gombe and other Emirs and politicians and Sheikhs that know him to talk to him,” he said.
