Kwankwaso Making moves to Join APC – Buhari’s Ally, Kwamanda Reveals

Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 presidential election, is reportedly making moves to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

AbdulMajid Dan Bilki Kwamanda, an ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, made the disclosure recently while addressing journalists at the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) secretariat in Kano.

Kwamanda expressed his opposition to Kwankwaso’s alleged move, citing Kwankwaso’s alleged lack of trustworthiness and penchant for personal gain.

He warned the President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu to reject Kwankwaso’s bid to join the APC, adding that his entry would cause serious division within the party.

While reacting to news of alleged secret meetings between Kwankwaso and the President-elect aiming at bringing the former Kano Governor back to the party, he warned that “we will fight to a standstill, this move, no matter what will not happen to the party”.

Kwamanda further argued that Kwankwaso’s arrival in the APC would hinder the chances of Vice President-elect Senator Kashim Shettima.

Speaking on the 10th National Assembly, he said only Northwest deserved the Senate President and that the South-South had no basis for criticizing the decision since they didn’t join forces that formed the new government.

“They didn’t work for us, they were against the Muslim-Muslim ticket. They didn’t consider it during Jonathan when the president, Senate President and his deputy were all Christians. So now it is time for the North, even in the North, it is time for Barau Jibrin to be the Senate president. This is our choice and is what we are calling for,” he said.
