The National Leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has maintained that he has no plans to defect to another political party.

Making the clarification at the party’s National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting in Abuja, Kwankwaso said NNPP was performing well in Kano and other states, adding that members of the party are happy.

He also acknowledged that many people attended the meeting to hear from him following recent fake news reports that he would be making a critical decision about his future with the NNPP.

Kwankwaso therefore emphasised that any negotiation regarding 2027 general election would be a collective decision, as he believed in party supremacy.

He further advised party members not to be swayed by the hype of politicians defecting to any party.

Kwankwaso recalled how he lost the 2003 governorship election in Kano, even as a sitting governor, due to public support for the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.

The National Leader said that Nigerians had already made up their minds about the 2027 general election, adding that reality will determine the people’s votes.
