The Digest:

NNPP national leader Rabiu Kwankwaso has expressed conditional openness to merging his party with the ruling APC but insists on guaranteed value and respect, citing past neglect during the Buhari administration. The former Kano governor emphasized that any alliance must acknowledge NNPP’s influence, particularly in the Northwest.

Key Points
  • Kwankwaso demanded clarity on “what NNPP will get” in terms of positions and influence before considering an APC merger.
  • He highlighted his role in founding the APC and enduring legal/political threats during its establishment.
  • The NNPP leader recalled being sidelined during Buhari’s eight-year tenure despite his contributions.
  • He noted that even the PDP failed to offer a Zonal Chairman role when he defected, underestimating his political value.
  • Kwankwaso asserted that NNPP now holds significant influence, especially in Kano and the Northwest.
  • He insisted any collaboration must be transparent, documented, and mutually respectful to avoid past betrayals.
  • The NNPP remains content but open to serious partnerships that recognize its worth.

Kwankwaso’s stance reflects a broader demand for equity and recognition in Nigerian political alliances, where regional strength challenges national party dynamics.
