Despite the booing by the crowd, who shouted "Sai Baba," Kwankwaso kept waving to the crowd till he got to a waiting vehicle.
A large crowd of people 'booed' Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso with the shouts of “Sai Buhari” as the ex-governor left a mosque in Kaduna.
The incident occurred on Friday, August 8, 2018 after the former governor of Kano was sighted leaving the mosque.
Despite the booing by the crowd, who shouted "Sai Baba," Kwankwaso kept waving to the crowd till he got to a waiting vehicle.
Kwankwaso, who has been battling the incumbent governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, had joined Senate President Bukola Saraki, Senator Dino Melaye and other lawmakers to dump the ruling party, All Progressive Congress.

Kwankwaso’s defection will not affect APC – Ganduje
The Kano State Governor, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje says the defection of Sen. Rabi’u Kwankwaso and other lawmakers to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) would not affect the chances of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2019.
This is contained in a statement signed by Abba Anwar, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor and made available to newsmen on Friday in Kano.
”Their defection will not constitute any problem to our great party, the APC, at all levels. People should keep their eyes (open) to what will happen during election.
“Our dear President has been doing the needful in terms of developing the nation, coupled with his efforts in efficient service delivery.
“Good governance is at its peak and the war against corruption is successfully being waged.
“I want you to go and study the situation on ground in Kano, his (Kwankwaso ‘s) defection does not change the political mood in the state. Nobody cares to be disturbed by their action,” Ganduje said.
