The Kwankwasiyya Movement has condemned recent remarks by Asari Dokubo against its leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, describing them as “reckless and deeply offensive.”  

In a press statement signed Tuesday by its spokesperson, Dr. Habibu Sale Mohammed, the movement said Dokubo’s comments were false and aimed at distorting reality and injecting division into Nigeria’s political climate.  

“To allege that Senator Kwankwaso would ‘sell Muslims for kobo kobo’ is as absurd as it is insulting,” the statement read. It added that the claim is detached from Kwankwaso’s record and lifelong commitment to justice, equity, and uplifting Nigerians regardless of religion, ethnicity, or region.  

The movement noted that Kwankwaso’s political career has been defined by service, integrity, and a consistent stand against oppression and marginalization. It argued that leadership is measured by verifiable contributions to human development, education, infrastructure, and inclusive governance, areas where Kwankwaso’s record “remains visible and enduring.”  

Describing the remarks as a distraction, the group said they shift focus from pressing national issues such as economic hardship, insecurity, and growing inequality. “Resorting to baseless attacks and divisive narratives does nothing to address these challenges; it only deepens mistrust and undermines national cohesion,” it stated.  

While saying it would not be drawn into “the gutter of abuse and propaganda,” the Kwankwasiyya Movement vowed to firmly resist any attempt to malign its leader or rewrite history through falsehoods.  

The movement urged Nigerians to reject politics of bitterness and misinformation, calling for mature discourse, issue-based engagement, and leaders who unite rather than divide. “Nigeria belongs to all of us. No individual or group has the monopoly to define the destiny or loyalty of any religious or social group,” the statement added.
