NNPP Denounces Report Claiming Kwankwaso Endorsed Gov Yusuf’s APC Defection as ‘Blatant Falsehood’

The claim that its national leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, abruptly altered his position on Kano State Governor Kabir Yusuf and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been characterized by the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) as a blatant lie.

The former governor of Kano State has not and will not alter his position on the matter, according to the NNPP.

Ladipo Johnson, the national publicity secretary, signed a statement that read, “This is a terrible lie and a clear example of a shameful and obvious falsehood coming from people who clearly have no sense of right and wrong and are completely without any conscience.”

According to a report released on Tuesday night, Kwankwaso is now in favor of Governor Yusuf and other elected NNPP members joining the APC.

According to reports, he revealed his new position in a brief video message uploaded on Facebook on Tuesday by Saifullahi Hassan, his media assistant.

According to a quote, Kwankwaso was aware that some NNPP members with appointed or elected positions in the state were being pressured to join the APC.

But according to Johnson’s statement, “it has become clear that people who want to leave the party have ‘no self worth’ if they feel they have to lie to the public about Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s position.”

“It is as immature and pathetic as it gets to purposefully mislead people into believing he is in favor of their impending action.

If these individuals choose to leave the party, we politely request that they do so. Go ahead if you have the backing of those around you and believe you are headed toward better chances.

“Do not attempt to deceive others into believing you have Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s support or approval.”

To be clear, Johnson stated that the former governor of Kano State has criticized certain members of the Kwankwasiyya and the NNPP, particularly those under the leadership of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, for violating the confidence and accountability that the people of Kano State have placed in him.

According to him, the former governor wishes to ease the state’s current political unrest.

Additionally, he said that those who are being coerced or coerced into joining the defection campaign have to have the freedom to quit.

“By God’s grace, the elections in 2027 will pass, and those who chose to betray trust will face the judgment of the people of Kano,” he declared.
