The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, on Tuesday declared the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) effectively “dead,” while revealing that the party’s leader and former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, is set to defect to the ruling party.
Ganduje made the disclosure during a courtesy visit by the Tinubu Support Group to the APC national secretariat in Abuja.
He stated that the APC leadership was prepared to welcome Kwankwaso back into the party’s fold, citing the ruling party’s growing strength through recent defections of prominent politicians and lawmakers nationwide.
“The NNPP, as it stands today, is no longer a viable political platform,” Ganduje said. “We have it on good authority that Senator Kwankwaso is considering a return to the APC, and our doors are open to receive him and other progressive-minded individuals.”
Ganduje also asserted that the so-called coalition against Tinubu ahead of 2027 will soon fall apart, with its leaders eventually returning to the APC.
He stated, “The NNPP is dead. And it will soon be buried very, very soon. I’m hoping that where we will put the dead body, the coffin has already been constructed.
“What remains now is to dig the grave. And already they are digging the grave very, very soon.
“Even like that, the so-called NNPP national leader, he too, he says after losing everyone, he wants to come back to us, we will welcome him, because he’s coming back home.”
