A chieftain of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, Buba Galadima, has described the defection of Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, to the All Progressives Congress as the worst betrayal imaginable.
Galadima made the remark on Tuesday while speaking as a guest on Prime Time, a programme aired on Arise Television.
He said the governor’s decision amounted to such a grave act of betrayal that it deserved recognition in the Guinness World Records, adding that January 23 — the date Governor Yusuf resigned from the NNPP — should be commemorated annually as World Betrayal Day.
Governor Yusuf formally resigned from the NNPP last Friday and completed his return to the APC on Monday.
Reacting to the development, the elder statesman said: “Governor Yusuf’s defection was done for his personal interest. It is a betrayal to the people of Kano.
“I have grey hairs on my head. I’m well above 75 years of age and if I could shed tears on anything, it must have touched me beyond expression because I don’t give in to sentiments.”
“This betrayal is the third in the history of humanity. It follows Judas’ betrayal of Jesus, and the second was Brutus against the Caesar,” Galadima said.
