“Therefore, as the leader and grand patron of this movement, I hereby declare that I fully support the declaration,” he said.
Kwankwaso added that the day would henceforth be marked with special events to remind members of what transpired.
Daily Trust had reported how Governor Yusuf announced his defection on Friday, citing deepening internal crisis and leadership disputes within the NNPP.
