Kwankwaso Denies Plans To Defect To APC
Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), has denied reports claiming he is planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing them as baseless and politically motivated.
Reacting via his official X handle, @KwankwasoRM, the former Kano State governor dismissed the speculation as false and unfounded.
He said, “My attention has been drawn to a statement purportedly stating my position on the recurring political realignments. I wish to categorically state that such statements are false, unfounded, and products of political mischief.
“I have refrained from commenting on contemporary political events, and I will continue to do so for the time being.
“I urge the public to only engage statements that come from my public handles and other official sources.”
Kwankwaso also denied authorising a statement allegedly signed by one Ibrahim Rabiu, saying he did not authorise anyone to issue any message on his behalf.
Meanwhile, Ibrahim Rabiu, the author of the purported statement, has publicly apologised to Kwankwaso.
He said, “I, Ibrahim Rabiu, wish to inform the general public that I was never authorised by Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso to issue and release a statement on his behalf.
“I, therefore, wish to tender a public apology to his person with a promise that such a childish act will never be repeated in future. Please find a space in your heart to forgive me, I was misled by fake news and agents of misinformation.”
