The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has addressed concerns about the possible defection of their Presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) after his meeting with President-elect Bola Tinubu in Paris, France.
However, the NNPP spokesperson, Dr Major Agbo, held a press conference in Abuja to alleviate fears and affirm that there was no cause for alarm.
Dr Agbo described Kwankwaso as a politician who transcends tribal and political boundaries, emphasizing that his relationships extend across various political and religious affiliations.
His words: “I don’t want you to be afraid that he is going anywhere. He is not going anywhere. Like I said, he is one man whose relationship cuts across all political platforms. You will see more of that.”
Meanwhile, aides of both Tinubu and Kwankwaso expressed optimism about the renewed alliance between their principals, highlighting its significance in promoting an inclusive government.
However, Abdulmajid Kwamanda, a leader of the ruling APC in Kano state, threatened that the party in the northwest zone would withdraw its support if Kwankwaso is considered for a portfolio by the president-elect, Tinubu.
