Kwankwaso’s close ally dump NNPP for APC in Kano

A close ally to Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People Party (NNPP), Yusuf Babangida has dumped the party for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the forthcoming 2023 general elections.

Babangida, a lawmaker representing Gwale Local Government in the State House of Assembly was a member of NNPP before rejoining APC.

Babangida, while announcing his resignation from NNPP in a letter dated January 7, 2023, and addressed to the party chairman in his ward, said, his decision to leave the party was motivated by the NNPP’s flagrant contempt for internal democracy.

“The supremacy of individual whims and belligerence over and above stakeholders consensus.

“An undue promotion of personal and familial relationship over and above value generation and inadequacy of political playing turf for upward progressive and many other reasons related to incoherence in pursuit of illogical aspiration,” the lawmaker stated.
