Governor Yusuf does not need Kwankwaso’s endorsement to join APC, says NNPP
The New Nigeria Peoples Party says Governor Abba Yusuf does not need Rabiu Kwankwaso’s endorsement to join the APC or any other party of his choice.
The party also stated that the governor did not need Mr Kwankwaso’s approval to remain in the NNPP.
Mr Yusuf is the NNPP’s sole governor, while Mr Kwankwaso is the party’s 2023 presidential candidate who was later expelled for alleged anti-party activities.
The NNPP, through its national secretary, Ogini Olaposi, in Lagos on Monday, said, “Whilst we advise the governor to remain in the NNPP, we also understand that it is within his constitutional rights to join any party of his choice due to escalating legal battles.
“NNPP does not have any misgivings against any political party, including the APC, and so cannot forcefully demand that its governor must remain in the party. If the governor had made up his mind to leave the NNPP, no dictatorial tendencies and blackmail could stop him.
“Yusuf has been doing well as the governor of Kano state, and we will not be a stumbling block on his path by insisting he remains in the NNPP against his will.”
The party urged Mr Kwankwaso and his Kwankwasiya Movement to stop distracting the governor and allow him to continue his good works in Kano.
