Kwankwaso Slaps Down Rumors: No Reunion with APC at Tinubu's Bidding
Kwankwaso Discloses Intention to Join Allied Party Congress
In the midst of swirling rumors, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the charismatic frontman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), flat-out denies any plans to rejoin the All Progressives Congress (APC). Kwankwaso took to his Twitter handle over the weekend to quash the fabricated tales, branding them as pure nonsense.
Reports suggesting that President Bola Tinubu had asked Kwankwaso to retrace his steps back to the APC were promptly debunked by the former Kano State governor. In a pointed tweet, he expressed his displeasure at the misleading narratives, sharing his firm view that these rumors are nothing more than a dirty game of political trickery.
"I've got wind of allegations claiming my position on the ongoing political dance in Nigeria," Kwankwaso tweeted.
He went on to assert, "Let me make it crystal clear: such claims are nothing but baseless, mischievous hogwash."
Contrary to what some reports have insinuated, Kwankwaso emphatically maintained that he hasn't expressed any intention of leaving politics to avoid going back to the APC. The NNPP leader shut down the false claims with finality, labeling them as part of a broader scheme of political deception.
Earlier reports claimed that Kwankwaso could prefer to step away from political life rather than return to the APC. But the NNPP leader swiftly refuted such statements, describing them as malicious lies. Given this, it seems the claims of Kwankwaso contemplating leaving politics were nothing more than unsubstantiated gossip.
Kwankwaso made it clear that he's been intentional about keeping silent on recent political events. He vowed to continue this approach for the foreseeable future.
In light of this controversy, Kwankwaso encouraged the public to disregard any statements attributed to him that didn't originate from his official social media handles or other verified sources. He emphasized that the public should trust only his official communication channels for accurate insights into his political stance.
