Kwankwaso Is Not Leaving NDC – Kwankwasiyya

Rabiu Kwankwaso

The Kwankwasiyya faction has dismissed reports claiming that former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso is planning to leave the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) over alleged disputes surrounding candidate lists in Kano State. Kwankwasiyya spokesperson Habeeb Saleh Mohammed recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Describing the claims as unverified rumours circulating on social media, he clarified that there has been no discussion within the faction regarding any plan by Kwankwaso to leave the NDC.

Habeeb added that the primaries followed a consensus-building process that produced candidates for various positions without any significant objections.

His words, “Well, this is still a rumour. It is just being circulated on social media.

The reality is that we conducted our primaries according to the law and in line with the INEC timetable. We held our primaries on May 29, just as was done across the country.

Before that date, there were processes that led to consensus and candidates emerged for different positions. There were no complaints from party members or aspirants during that period.

I believe we conducted the process successfully and submitted the list to the party. It is now left for the party to do what it considers appropriate.

From our own perspective, these are issues we keep hearing here and there. There was never a time when it was discussed that our party leader, Kwankwaso, is leaving the party. That is our position.”

WOW.
