The Nationwide Chairman of the NNPP, Agbo Main, has dismissed claims that the celebration may undertake President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as its candidate for the 2027 elections.
In keeping with him, the celebration has made no such determination.
His remark comes amid the continued wave of defections from main opposition events to the APC.
Talking with DAILY POST, Agbo Main clarified: “Properly, there are two separate points right here: people throughout the celebration who could also be eyeing the APC, and the celebration itself as an establishment.
“Let me begin with the celebration. It’s not uncommon for events to discover collaboration within the curiosity of nationwide stability. What’s essential is the survival of our democracy. Nonetheless, I can inform you categorically that as a celebration, the NNPP has not made any determination to undertake or align with President Tinubu or the APC.”
He added that some former members, notably Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who’ve been expelled from the celebration, are already leaning in the direction of APC, however they’re performing on their very own and never on behalf of NNPP.
On the opportunity of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State becoming a member of APC, Agbo Main stated: “His case is kind of peculiar. He got here into the NNPP by Kwankwaso’s motion and was given the celebration’s ticket. By God’s grace, he received. However since assuming workplace, he has been underneath intense management from Kwankwaso, who dictates his each transfer from Abuja.
“The governor has been politically suffocated and unable to freely govern the great folks of Kano State. If his determination to depart the NNPP is to free himself from that stranglehold and higher serve his folks, then it’s comprehensible. His scenario is just not the identical as these of the Bayelsa or Enugu governors. So if he finally joins the APC, we received’t maintain it in opposition to him. What issues is that he’s capable of serve his folks successfully.”
Requested whether or not Kwankwaso and Governor Yusuf may coexist in APC, Agbo Main replied: “That’s a really legitimate query. I’m not aware about no matter discussions they might be having, however I can inform you that it might be very troublesome for each males to work collectively underneath one roof once more, except the governor chooses to fully give up himself. Kwankwaso is thought to be extraordinarily domineering. In his political motion, subservience to him is complete.”
