The Kwankwasiyya Movement has said that the exit of the former presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, from the party means the party is dead in Kano and beyond.
Spokesman for the Movement, Habibu Mohammed, made this statement on Tuesday during an interview on Arise Television.
He was reacting to the recent defection of Kwankwaso from the NNPP into the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
“Everybody knows that the NNPP is synonymous with Kwankwaso and him leaving the NNPP automatically means that the NNPP is actually dead in Kano, and maybe beyond Kano, which might be seen to be dead across the nation.
“Just like what Kwankwaso meant for the NNPP in Kano, he will now be seen to be the ADC in Kano State, and it will be an interesting scenario.
“So many people believe in Kwankwaso and his principles. There will be a lot of influx into the ADC.
“And I believe from the recent happening, it is going to be a very interesting scenario in Kano, because there are several others that are actually going to come along, and this is the result of the fact that so many people believe that Kwankwaso is a man with principle, and he’s the man that doesn’t actually meander. He goes straight to the point.
