Rabiu Kwankwaso, the national leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), is welcome to join the ruling party, according to Abdullahi Ganduje, the recently elected National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The former governor of Kano State, Ganduje, discussed his position with a few select media outlets on Saturday night in Kano.
The APC chairman declared that he is now in command of the party’s affairs and emphasized that because of his position, Kwankwaso will now find it simpler to re-join the opposition party if he so chooses.
He hailed Kwankwaso as a capable politician who has served in a number of prominent roles for the state and the country.
He said:
“Nobody will say Kwankwaso is not a good politician; at least he was a two-term Kano governor, although in disrupted tenures; he was Minister of Defence, even though he doesn’t know what defence is; and he was once a senator, even though he never said anything throughout his stay there.
“But if he is willing to decamp to the APC, our door is open, especially now that someone from his state is the party chairman; it will be easier for him to lobby,” he added.
