National Leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso has denied planning to dump the party for another political party.

He said: “The NNPP is performing well in Kano and other states, we are very happy about that.”

“But let me take this opportunity to tell you that we have our party, and we are comfortable. We are happy. We are ready to do whatever it takes because we are not in a hurry.”

“If there will be any negotiation, it will be collective. It will not be only for the negotiators but for the entire members of this NNPP family.

“The fact remains that there is nobody in Kwankwasia today that I know, or even in NNPP, who is saying that, ‘yes, I want to go.”

“Members should not be swayed by the hype of politicians defecting to any party.”

“I lost the 2003 governorship election in Kano, even as a sitting governor, due to public support for the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.”

“I returned to power eight years later – a good lesson for everybody.”

“Nigerians have already make up their minds about the 2027 general election, reality will determine the people’s votes.”
