‘He Is Not A Stranger To Tinubu’ – NNPP Speaks On Kwankwaso Returning To APC

The Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano State, Hashim Sulaiman Dugunrawa, has acknowledged the rumour circulating in some political circles that the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, is planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Naijaonpoint reports that Dugunrawa, while speaking on Tuesday, said the party views it as a positive sign but dismissed Kwankwaso’s return to the APC, stressing it is just a rumour.

Dugunrawa also emphasised that people recognise the former NNPP presidential candidate as a man of honour and integrity, not someone tainted by corruption or irrelevance.

He acknowledged the long-standing relationship between Kwankwaso and President Bola Tinubu, noting that the two have shared a mutual political journey for years, and they are not strangers to each other.

He said, “We are happy that people are spreading it. It only shows how politically relevant Senator Kwankwaso remains.

“Senator Kwankwaso, our leader, is a force to be reckoned with as far as politics is concerned.

“People believe and are convinced that he (Senator Kwankwaso) is neither a thief nor a fraudster nor a political deadwood, but a person highly blessed with integrity and a focused politician.

“The plan of the former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) to defect is just a rumour.

“However, we thank God that the rumour is spreading in our favour, as it highlights Senator Kwankwaso’s popularity. Personally, I cannot base anything on mere speculation.

“As you will recall, they were both governors at the same time. They were also lawmakers, as well as great personalities who governed two reputable states in the country.

“While President Tinubu was a former governor of Lagos State, Senator Kwankwaso was also a former governor of Kano State. Both also served as members of the Red Chamber, representing their respective states in the Senate.

“Therefore, they are not strangers to each other. For now, the rumour of Senator Kwankwaso defecting to the APC remains just a rumour.”
