The Nationwide Chairman of the NNPP, Agbo Main, has dismissed claims that the occasion may adopt President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as its candidate for the 2027 elections.
In accordance to him, the occasion 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: “Effectively, there are two separate points right here: people throughout the occasion who could also be eyeing the APC, and the occasion itself as an establishment.
“Let me begin with the occasion. It isn’t uncommon for events to discover collaboration within the curiosity of nationwide stability. What’s necessary is the survival of our democracy. Nonetheless, I can inform you categorically that as a celebration, the NNPP has not made any determination to adopt or align with President Tinubu or the APC.”
He added that some former members, significantly Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who’ve been expelled from the occasion, are already leaning in direction of APC, however they’re appearing on their very own and never on behalf of NNPP.
On the potential for Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State becoming a member of APC, Agbo Main mentioned: “His case is kind of peculiar. He got here into the NNPP by means of Kwankwaso’s motion and was given the occasion’s ticket. By God’s grace, he gained. 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 individuals of Kano State. If his determination to depart the NNPP is to free himself from that stranglehold and higher serve his individuals, then it’s comprehensible. His scenario isn’t the identical as these of the Bayelsa or Enugu governors. So if he ultimately joins the APC, we gained’t maintain it towards him. What issues is that he’s ready to serve his individuals successfully.”
Requested whether or not Kwankwaso and Governor Yusuf might coexist in APC, Agbo Main replied: “That’s a really legitimate query. I’m not privy to no matter discussions they might be having, however I can inform you that it could 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 understood to be extraordinarily domineering. In his political motion, subservience to him is whole.”
