The New Nigeria Peoples Party has clarified that any reports claiming their National Leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, overstepped in an alleged negotiation to join the All Progressives Congress are not accurate.
The NNPP has clarified that Kwankwaso did not have any talks with President Bola Tinubu about joining the APC, despite what some sources might suggest.
Ladipo Johnson, the National Publicity Secretary of the NNPP explained that there was never any instance where the former governor ever entered into any form of negotiating to defect to the All Progressives’ Congress.
While speaking to Journalists, Ladipo explained that “It is a blatant lie that Kwankwaso made demands or entered into negotiations with the APC or Tinubu for his defection to the party. That never happened.
“The last time he met with the President was in 2024, and there was no discussion about defecting to the APC. Those spreading these lies are doing so deliberately to discredit him (Kwankwaso). They do not want him to join other opposition forces.
“Kwankwaso is a man of integrity and plays his politics well, having the interest of the general public at heart,”
