A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Abdulmumin Jibrin, has disclosed that former presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso is still open to joining the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). According to Jibrin, the doors remain open for Kwankwaso to align with President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Key Points:
  • A member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, says Rabiu Kwankwaso is open to joining the APC.
  • Jibrin, an NNPP chieftain, stated that the doors for discussions with the APC are not closed
  • He cited "vested interest" within the Kano State chapter of the APC as a potential stalling point for the move.
  • The lawmaker emphasized that the Kwankwasiyya Movement, led by Kwankwaso, is a significant political force.
  • Jibrin, a known ally of President Tinubu, did not rule out his own defection from the NNPP.

Jibrin's comments underscore the ongoing political calculations leading up to the 2027 elections. They suggest that a potential alliance between Kwankwaso's camp and the ruling APC remains on the table, despite previous speculation.
