TRUTH IS OUT! Is Kwankwaso Planning To Join Tinubu’s APC? NNPP Chairman Speaks
The acting National Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Abba Kawu-Ali, has spoken on whether the 2023 presidential candidate of the party, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, is planning to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Kawu-Ali spoke on Monday while reacting to a report that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu met with Kwanwakso last Sunday at the State House in Abuja and allegedly persuaded him to join the ruling party.
In a chat with Daily Trust, the NNPP acting National Chairman said as far as the NNPP is concerned, there is no plan for Kwankwaso to leave the party for the APC.
Kawu-Ali also asserted that the NNPP is not planning to collapse its structure with that of APC. He, however, added that nothing can be hastily predicted in politics.
The NNPP chairman noted that the party and its leaders are not enemies with the National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, and his party in Kano State.
He said: “As the chairman of the party, we don’t have any arrangement like that, and I have not discussed it with my leader (Kwankwaso). But we are not enemies (with Ganduje and APC). We are politicians and we cannot predict tomorrow. But as of today (Monday), Kwankwaso does not have any plans like that. Also, the NNPP does not have any plan like that for now.”
