Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former Governor of Kano State, has dismissed speculations about his alleged plan to leave New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
Gatekeepers News reports that during NNPP’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja on Thursday, the party’s 2023 presidential candidate said he remained firmly with the NNPP despite reports suggesting he was considering a major political move.
Kwankwaso said, “But let me take this opportunity to tell you that we have our party, and we are comfortable. We are happy. We are ready to do whatever it takes because we are not in a hurry.”
He explained that any decision concerning the 2027 general election would not be personal but taken collectively in line with party supremacy.
The politician said, “If there will be any negotiation, it will be collective. It will not be only for the negotiators but for the entire members of this NNPP family.”
Reiterating his loyalty, Kwankwaso added: “The fact remains that there is nobody in Kwankwasia today that I know, or even in NNPP, who is saying that, ‘yes, I want to go’.”
He cautioned party members against being misled by political speculations about defections.
He concluded, “Those people don’t understand, and they don’t have much experience. They believe that they know when they actually don’t know.”
“Even if they are interested in knowing, I think they should come and ask one of us.”
