Former Kano governor Rabiu Kwankwaso has denied allegations that he is “impending defection” and reaffirmed his allegiance to the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
Kwankwaso stated that the NNPP is performing well in Kano and other states during his remarks at the party’s national executive committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja on Thursday.
Following recent press rumours that he would be making a crucial decision regarding his future with the NNPP, the party’s 2023 presidential candidate admitted that a large number of people came to the meeting to hear from him.
“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,” he said.

Kwankwaso added that because he supports party dominance, all discussions pertaining to the general election in 2027 would be collaborative.
“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,” he added.
“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’.”
Kwankwaso urged party members not to be swayed by the hype of politicians switching camps.
“Those people don’t understand, and they don’t have much experience. They believe that they know when they actually don’t know,” he said.
“Even if they are interested in knowing, I think they should come and ask one of us.”
