Kwankwaso sets conditions for joining APC
The national leader of the (NNPP), Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso, says he’s willing to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC), once certain conditions are met.
Kwankwaso stated this when he addressed party leaders and supporters from Rano and Dawakin Tofa Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kano State at his residence in Kano
He said that his position on defecting to the APC had been misunderstood and he had been cautious based on past political experiences.
“I didn’t say I won’t join APC, but we must first be clearly assured of the future of the Kano state government before we join the APC.
“What will be the fate of our lawmakers and other supporters before we agree to defect?” he stated.
The former governor recalled previous political alliances in which his camp played a significant role in forming governments, but claimed that it was later sidelined.
Kwankwaso emphasised that any defection must be based on clear assurances regarding the protection of his supporters and the Kano government’s structures.
The former governor emphasised that no firm guarantees had been offered to safeguard Kwankwasiyya’s interests or ensure fair treatment of its members within any new arrangement.
“Without written assurances, abandoning the NNPP would be premature and risky,” he stated.
Kwankwaso reiterated his commitment to protecting his supporters’ mandate and interests, assuring them that no decision would be taken without broad consultations and clear benefits to the people.
