Kwankwaso Not Your Mate In Politics, NNPP Tells Ganduje

• NNPP urges APC’s new National Chairman Ganduje to leave presidential candidate Kwankwaso alone, citing his superior qualities
• NNPP highlights its 2023 election performance, warns of strong decisions to protect party unity and focus on social issues

The national leadership of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has asked the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)’s new National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, to leave its presidential candidate in the February 25 election, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, alone.

Remember that Ganduje recently asked Kwankwaso to return to the APC now that he was the national chairman.

Ganduje was Kano State’s deputy governor when Kwankwaso was governor. When Ganduje became governor and barred Kwankwaso from entering Kano, their feud became even more bitter.

Abba Kawu Ali, National Chairman of the NNPP, told reporters yesterday after their National Working Committee (NWC) meeting in Abuja that he was surprised that the APC could settle for a man like Ganduje despite his “various controversies.”

He said there was no reason to compare Ganduje to Kwankwaso because the latter was far superior to the new APC leader.

Ali said;

The party performed very well in the 2023 general elections given the fact that from its formation to the elections proper was less than one year. Apart from winning seats in both the national and state assemblies, the party also won the governorship election in Kano State.

Similarly, the NNPP’s National Auditor, Ladipo Johnson, stated that Kwankwaso was far ahead of Ganduje in politics and warned him not to make such remarks.

The meeting, according to Johnson, was part of efforts to build the party so that it would significantly impact the lives of Nigerians.

He added that;

NWC will be ready to take hard and strong decisions to protect the party and that means that anyone that steps out of order would be whipped in or be shown the exit door.

Going forward the party will be dwelling on social issues that will benefit the people of Nigeria. The party is united and as a family.
