Kwankwaso denies submitting letter to join APC

Rabiu Kwankwaso, chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has denied submitting a letter of intent to join another political party. 

Kwankwaso has been repeatedly linked to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in recent times.

In a statement on Friday, the former governor of Kano urged the public to rely only on official channels for accurate updates on the subject.

“We have been alerted to some online statements suggesting that we have submitted a letter of intent to join a political party in the country,” he wrote on X.

“We would like to clarify that we have not made any such submission to any party. The public is therefore advised to stay informed of any further information regarding our matter through the established official channels.”

Last Friday, Kwankwaso said he and his loyalists are ready to join the APC if certain conditions were met.

“I am willing to engage with the APC, but only under a clear agreement that guarantees full recognition of my political movement, the Kwankwasiyya,” he said.

“My movement and its people are paramount to me, and I cannot abandon them for any political arrangement.”
