Kwankwaso dumps PDP, keeps mum on new party
Rabiu Kwamkwaso, a former governor of Kano state, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a letter addressed to the PDP chairman in his ward, Mr Kwankwaso said he was no longer a member of the party, with effect from March 29.
“It is with deep sense of responsibility that I write to notify you that, as a result of some serious and irreconcilable differences, I have reached the conclusion that my continued stay in PDP is untenable.
“Therefore, effective from today, Tuesday, March 29, 2022, I have withdrawn my membership from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),” Mr Kwankwaso said.
Although Mr Kwankwaso had, for weeks now, been linked with the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), he has yet to formally announce which political party he was planning to join.
Also, some PDP stakeholders in Kano State had, about a week ago, urged the party’s National Working Committee to dissolve the state executives and constitute a caretaker committee.
PDP chairman in the state, Shehu Wada-Sagagi, a loyalist of Mr Kwankwaso and three others, had obtained a court order restraining PDP from dissolving the state executives.
