A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has expressed disappointment after waiting until dawn for Nafiu Bala, who failed to show up for a planned meeting.
Kwankwaso described the development as a missed opportunity for “fatherly counsel”.
In an interview with DCL Hausa, Kwankwaso said, “Yesterday, right up until dawn, I was waiting for Nafiu Bala, but he didn’t come. People later told me he would not come. I wasn’t happy about it.”
The former governor used a local metaphor to caution Bala, saying, “I told him that he shouldn’t turn into the lizard at the mouth of the pot.”
Kwankwaso noted that Bala, born in 1990, is still young and has much to learn.
“I googled and saw he was born in 1990, he is still young and has a lot to learn,” he stated.
He appealed to those close to Bala, including the Emir of Gombe, to guide him.
He specifically warned Bala against involvement with the ADC, stressing that such actions “will not help him”.
“Whoever sees him should advise him to remove his hand from bringing problems to the ADC.
“People close to him must advise him and call him to order.”
