According to Sam Nkire, a founding member of the All Progressives Congress, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reelection in 2027 would be assured if Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), returned to the APC.
According to reports, Nkire asked Tinubu to make every effort to reunite Kwankwaso with the ruling party before the next election in a statement released on Sunday.
Nkire stated, “Kwankwaso’s inclusion will just nail the coffin, even though Tinubu may win in 2027.”
According to the APC chieftain, who supported Kwankwaso in the 2014 presidential primary against Muhammadu Buhari, Tinubu should have no trouble coming to an understanding with his longstanding ally.
Since they have been friends for a long time and are aware of the reasons Kwankwaso left the APC in the first place, President Tinubu shouldn’t have any trouble coming to an arrangement with him, he stated.
Nkire remembered going with Kwankwaso on multiple occasions in 2014 to see Tinubu, the APC’s national leader at the time, in order to enlist his assistance in opposing Buhari.
Nkire recalled that Tinubu constantly apologized and added, “I have given my word to General Buhari.”
Regarding Kwankwaso’s potential return or APC merger, Nkire said he had faith in Tinubu’s ability to negotiate.
“I have faith in President Tinubu’s ability to deal and negotiate in both business and political matters,” he continued. My conviction that the next president will result from a merger, alliance, or collaboration will be reinforced if this transaction goes through.
