A prominent figure in the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, has dismissed claims that he submitted a letter of intent to defect to another political party.
Recently, Kwankwaso has been frequently linked to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement issued on Friday, the former Kano governor urged Nigerians to depend solely on official platforms for credible information on the matter.
“We have been alerted to some online statements suggesting that we have submitted a letter of intent to join a political party in the country,” he posted on X.
“We would like to clarify that we have not made any such submission to any party. The public is therefore advised to stay informed of any further information regarding our matter through the established official channels.”
Just last week, Kwankwaso had stated that he and his supporters would consider joining the APC if certain conditions were fulfilled.
“I am willing to engage with the APC, but only under a clear agreement that guarantees full recognition of my political movement, the Kwankwasiyya,” he said.
“My movement and its people are paramount to me, and I cannot abandon them for any political arrangement.”
