Finally, Kwankwaso dumps PDP

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the former Kano state governor, has finally dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a letter addressed to his ward chairman, Kwankwaso said, “May I begin by thanking my Ward Chairman and all friends and well-wishers in my ward, and indeed from across the country and beyond for the very respectful relationship we have had and the tremendous support I have enjoyed during my stay in the PDP.

“It is with a deep sense of responsibility that I write to notify you that as a result of some serious and irreconcilable differences I have reached the conclusion that my continued stay in the PDP is untenable and therefore, effective from Tuesday the 29 days of March 2022, I have withdrawn my membership from the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.”

Kwankwaso had announced his plan to exit the party before the end of March.
