The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has leveled fresh accusations against its former presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, claiming he continues to interfere in the party’s internal matters even after leaving. This allegation was made public on Tuesday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ogini Olaposi, through an official statement.
According to Olaposi, Kwankwaso still exerts influence within the NNPP by utilizing loyalists he allegedly left behind after his exit. These individuals are reportedly pursuing legal battles initiated by Kwankwaso, further entangling the party in unnecessary disputes.
The party further claimed that Kwankwaso’s political clout in Kano State has waned considerably, with many of his former key supporters defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Olaposi advised the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to recognize that Kwankwaso’s once-formidable political structure in Kano is now largely dismantled. He stressed that the former presidential candidate’s commanding officers have moved to the APC, diminishing his influence.
