The Digest:

In a striking reversal of recent political narratives, NNPP chieftain Rabiu Kwankwaso has publicly denied submitting any letter of intent to join the ruling APC, urging the public to rely solely on official channels for accurate information. The denial comes just days after the former Kano governor openly expressed willingness to join the APC under specific conditions, highlighting the fluid and often contradictory nature of political alignments in Nigeria.

Key Points:
  • Rabiu Kwankwaso refuted online reports claiming he submitted a defection letter to APC
  • The NNPP leader clarified the position via an official statement on social media platform X
  • Kwankwaso emphasized that no formal submission has been made to any political party
  • The denial contrasts with his recent statement expressing openness to join APC under conditions
  • He previously insisted any agreement must fully recognize his Kwankwasiyya political movement
  • Public advised to rely on established official channels for future updates
  • The clarification aims to curb speculation ahead of the 2027 general elections
This public denial underscores the complex negotiation processes and strategic positioning that characterize Nigerian politics, where public statements often serve as tactical tools in broader political calculations.
