TRENDING: "I’m Ready to Join APC, If......" — Kwankwaso

The candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 election, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has declared his willingness to rejoin the All Progressives Congress (APC) — but only if the terms are clearly defined and implemented.

Speaking in Kano, Kwankwaso emphasized that he was not opposed to returning to the ruling party, but questioned what position or role would be reserved for him and his political allies.

“If you said I should enter APC, I want to join APC, and I didn’t say I will not join APC even now, but for what position?” he asked.

He reminded Nigerians of his significant role in the formation of the APC, recalling that he and his allies endured threats from the EFCC, ICPC, police, and SSS during the struggle to establish the party.

Kwankwaso, however, maintained that he was not desperate to dump his current platform, noting that his political movement was content within the NNPP but remained open to alliances built on honesty and fairness.

“We’re not in a hurry to leave the NNPP; we’re happy. However, if there is anyone who wants to work with us truthfully and will not abandon us as before, we are ready,” he said.

He also hinted that even the PDP could be reconsidered if the party admitted its past mistakes and made open commitments to fairness.

Lamenting past political experiences, Kwankwaso accused the APC of sidelining him and his group during former President Muhammadu Buhari’s eight-year rule.

According to him, “We were not given anything, not even a thank you. When we left for PDP, even there, we were denied a Zonal Chairman. They thought if we left, we would enter a bush and die. But today, whoever mentions Nigerian politicians must mention Kwankwaso.”

His comments have already sparked fresh debates about possible political realignments ahead of the next elections.
