A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party NNPP, Buba Galadima, has stated that former Kano governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso will not be leaving the party, despite ongoing efforts by rival political groups to woo him.
Speaking on Arise Televisions The Morning Show on Friday, Galadima dismissed speculations that Kwankwaso is planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress APCrumours that gained traction following the resignation of Abdullahi Ganduje as APC national chairman.
Galadima, a close ally of the former Kano governor and NNPP presidential candidate, confirmed that the APC, the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, and a political coalition have all made overtures to Kwankwaso in recent months.
According to him, Kwankwaso has demonstrated discipline and commitment by refusing to succumb to the mounting political pressure.
We will remain in the NNPP strategically until the whistle is blown for politics, Galadima said.
