Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), has denied reports suggesting that he is planning to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Reacting via a statement posted on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle @KwankwasoRM, the former Governor of Kano State described the claims as false, mischievous, and a deliberate political fabrication aimed at misleading the public.

“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,” he said.

He stressed that he has refrained from commenting on contemporary political issues and will continue to do so for now.

The rumour alleged that Kwankwaso met President Bola Tinubu several times and was urged to return to the APC. However, Kwankwaso clarified he has reached no such resolution with anyone or any political party.

Kwankwaso further warned the public to ignore unofficial statements allegedly made on his behalf.

“I urge the public to only engage statements that come from my public handles and other official sources,” he emphasized.

In a related twist, Ibrahim Rabiu, the author of the viral statement falsely attributed to Kwankwaso, has publicly apologized. He itted he was not authorized to speak for the politician and called the act a “childish mistake.”

“I was misled by fake news and agents of misinformation. I therefore tender a public apology to Sen. Kwankwaso,” Rabiu said in a follow-up statement.

This incident has sparked renewed concern about the spread of fake news and unauthorized political statements on social media, especially in the buildup to potential future realignments within Nigeria’s political landscape.

APC is the most desperate political party in Nigeria. Very useless assembly of thieves.

Was this a new statement or the one post last week, or about the Coalition?

This same post last week

Kwankwaso is trying to adopt Wike style. He has stripped himself of the senators in favor of the opposition but want to use the governor and himself to get a good bargain.

Let me tell you a little I know about Nigerian politicians.
Nigerian politicians and leaders only think about money and the next election, non is thinking about the well being of the masses and the next generation. Do not take any Nigerian leader or politicians serious.

apc is very desperate. They know they have nothing to campaign with so they need to used political prostitutes most of them with no political value..

He will defect eventually.

Almost all the NNPP politicians in kano and jigawa have moved to APC. Don't think there is much left of NNPP.

Kwankwaso is NNPP as Obi is LP. Wherever these two go, the followers follow. Forget all those defectors in NNPP and LP, they are not returning.

So, you think a member who rode on PO or Kwankwaso popularity will just defect to APC and displace legacy APC , when you are not the governor? Think again!

He is not defeating to APC. They should stop hoping for Kano's votes.
