2027: Kwankwaso Denies Plan To Move To APC
  • PublishedSeptember 26, 2025

The national leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has firmly denied claims that he submitted a letter of intent to join the ruling All Progressives Congress.

The former Governor of Kano State stated this in a swift rebuttal to reports of his imminent defection to the APC.

On Thursday, rumour surfaced that the former Defence Minister had made formal overtures to the APC and had already begun talks with the party’s National Chairman behind closed doors.

However, Kwankwaso in a statement personally signed and released through his media team on Friday, refuted the claims, describing them as “online statements” lacking credibility or foundation.

“We have been alerted to some online statements suggesting that we have submitted a letter of intent to join a political party in the country,” the statement read.

“We would like to clarify that we have not made any such submission to any party. The public is therefore advised to stay informed of any further information regarding our matter through the established official channels,” he added.
