The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has alleged that its former presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, is still meddling in the party’s affairs despite his exit.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ogini Olaposi, made the allegation in a statement on Tuesday.
Olaposi said Kwankwaso has continued to wield influence within the party through loyalists allegedly left behind after his departure.
“Kwankwaso is not only trying to hijack political power in NDC Kano, he has continued to drag the NNPP for reasons best known to him.
“Some members of the Kwankwasiyya Movement are the ones he left behind to continue the litigation that Kwankwaso initiated,†the party said.
According to the party, Kwankwaso’s political influence in Kano has diminished significantly, alleging that many of his key allies have defected to the APC.
“NDC should be smart and intelligent enough to understand that Kwankwaso’s structure was in the past organic in Kano State, but at the moment all his commanding officers have joined the APC,†the statement added.
