Kano NNPP Denies Kwankwaso’s Rumoured Defection To APC
By Abdullahi Yusuf
The New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano State, has strongly denied rumours of Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso’s impending defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Chairman of the party,Alhaji Hashimu Dungurawa, made the denial in an interview with Journalists in Kano on Friday.
NewsFair recalls that the Chairman of the APC in Kano State,Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas had described the speculated impending defection of Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso to the party as a welcome development.
Abbas made the statement while addressing a press conference at the party’s headquarters along Maiduguri Road, Kano, on Friday.
“Of recent, the attention of the party has been drawn to speculations of the impending decamping of the leader of the expelled faction of the NNPP, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso into the party.
“This is a welcome development, especially given the fact that the APC remains his last political refuge as he has successfully destroyed his relations with all other political groupings in the country, ” he said.
Responding to Abbas’s statement,Dungurawa said Kwankwaso does not have any plans or intention to defect to the APC.
“We have no business with the APC, and do not have any intention to defect to it,” Dungurawa said, dismissing the rumors as mere mischief.
He described the APC’s claims as baseless and motivated by desperation.
Dungurawa attributed the APC’s actions to their knowledge of the damage they have caused to the nation’s economy and other sectors during their time in power.
