Followers of the national leader of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, have vowed to move with him to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
There have been reports that plans are underway to bring Kwankwaso into the ruling party ahead of the 2027 presidential elections
Speaking to Daily Post on Sunday, the Kano State Chairman of the NNPP, Hashimu Dungurawa, vowed that wherever their leader goes, they are ready to follow.
According to him, Kwankwaso remains the biggest opposition figure in the northern region, stressing that the NNPP leader is capable of rescuing Nigeria from leadership problems if brought into the APC administration.
He said, “Kwankwaso is a big name. Aside from the fact that he has very large followers, there is no political figure in the North that currently influences and capacity like that of our leader.
“If joining APC is for the betterment of this country, then may Allah take him there. Currently, the country lacks leadership and directions.
“At least we have seen the records of Kwankwaso right from when he was a minister of defence, when he was a Senator and when he served as the executive governor of Kano State.
“When Kwankwaso was a minister of defence, he brought peace to Sudan and all these evils were currently happening here and there were not there.
“So if APC decides to bring him into the government because of his capacity, no problem. We are his blind followers, wherever he is taking us, we will follow him, we don’t have a problem.
“I remain his loyal supporter and whatever he decides to do, I’m always ready to say ‘yes Sir.”
