The 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has said that he has no plans to leave the party.
He, however, revealed that he remains open to discussions with other political stakeholders.
Speaking in Abuja at the 9th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the NNPP, Kwankwaso quickly rubbished reports saying that he is planning to defect.
According to him, he is very comfortable with his current position as a NNPP member, and he doesn’t intend to quit the party anytime soon.
He stated that the defection rumours should be ignored because the thought of it hasn’t even crossed his mind.
“Many people thought today we will announce whether I will stay in NNPP or go to another party or join some individuals. That was not the intention of the meeting. We have our party, and we are comfortable and happy,” he said.
Kwankwaso further noted that the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) is open to any form of collaboration that will aid its path to the highest office in the land.
He, however, maintained that such meetings would be as a party, not as individuals.
“We believe we have something to offer at the highest leadership level of this country. We are ready to talk to anybody, but any negotiation will be collective,” he added.
