Kano, Kano state – Musa Iliyasu Kwankwaso, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has claimed that Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) candidate in the 2023 presidential election, is making moves to align with President Bola Tinubu.
Iliyasu Kwankwaso said his namesake is planning to dump the NNPP for the APC, allegedly to facilitate a second term for his mentee, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano state.
Daily Trust said the APC chieftain spoke to journalists in Kano on Thursday, January 30.
He said:
Meanwhile, Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa, the chairman of the NNPP in Kano state, dismissed suggestions that Rabiu Kwankwaso would return to the APC, stating that such a move would be against the principles that led to the party’s creation.
He said, as quoted by the press:
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Adekunle Aderibigbe, an NNPP chieftain, identified areas where the leadership of Nigeria under the Bola Tinubu administration can be improved.
In an exclusive interview with TimesNow.com.ng, Aderibigbe explained how Tinubu’s policies might better align with the needs of everyday Nigerians.
Aderibigbe said the policies implemented by the federal government of Nigeria in 2024 “revealed a mixed bag of impacts on the economy and citizens, particularly low—and middle-income earners”.
