Senator representing Kano central, Rabiu Kwankwaso on Tuesday backed out of his planned visit to Kano state.
Nigerian police had advised the former governort to shelve the visit to Kano State in order to avert bloodshed between his supporters and loyalists of Abdullahi Ganduje, the governor.
But despite Police advice, the former President Aspirant vowed to stage the rally in the state.
Both Kwankwaso and Ganduje had fixed their rallies for Tuesday.
But speaking through Rabi’u Sulaiman Bchi, a former secretary to the state government, Kwankwaso said the cancellation followed series of consultations.
“I have shelved my visit to Kano to avoid political clash in the state following series of advice I have received from well-meaning Nigerians home and abroad,” he said.
“In view of this and after lengthy consultations with well-meaning Nigerians home and abroad, we painfully have decided to shelve the scheduled visit at the moment.”
