The New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano State has strongly dismissed rumors suggesting that its 2023 presidential candidate, Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, is contemplating a move to the All Progressive Congress (APC).
In response to a statement attributed to APC Chairman in the state, Prince Abdullahii Abbas, NNPP Chairman in Kano, Alhaji Hashimu Dungurawa, took to the media to clarify the situation. He firmly stated that Kwankwaso has no intention of joining what he referred to as “Tinubu’s corrupt government”.
A Defiant Stand
Prince Abdullahii Abbas had previously warned Kwankwaso that should he decide to join APC, he would not be shielded from investigation or scrutiny. However, Dungurawa quickly rebutted the claim, asserting that the former Governor of Kano State was under no obligation to seek approval from anyone before making his political decisions. He emphasized that Kwankwaso remains the National Leader of NNPP and has no plans to defect.
Unfounded Rumors
“We have no business with APC and are not considering any defection,” Dungurawa reiterated, calling the rumors baseless and labeling them as the work of mischief makers.
He further reassured the public that the NNPP administration in Kano State is steadily taking shape, focusing on restoring law and order in the region and ensuring governance runs smoothly in the ancient commercial city.
Kwankwaso’s stance on staying with NNPP is clear, and it seems that any speculation regarding his departure will remain unfounded for now.
