The New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) has urged Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, not to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC), which the public has widely rejected.
Naijaonpoint reports that the NNPP Chairman in Kano State, Suleiman Dungurawa, during a press briefing on Monday in Kano, dismissed speculation that some party members were planning to create enmity between Yusuf and the party’s national leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Dungurawa noted that Kwankwaso does not support the ongoing political situation in the state.
The Kano NNPP chairman further advised residents of the state to remain calm and continue with their lawful activities.
Dungurawa also warned party members not to write their names on documents allegedly circulated by mischief-makers regarding the defection to the APC.
He said, “On behalf of all of us collectively, we once again appeal to them, for the sake of Allah and the Prophet, not to leave this party and not to defect to the party that we have opposed and which the masses and other voters have rejected.
“We are aware of the developments happening here in Kano State concerning some individuals who intend to defect to the APC.
“I want to make it clear that the Kano State party, the national party, and our national leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, together with other leaders, do not approve of what is happening.”
