The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has made it clear that Rabiu Kwankwaso, its candidate in the 2023 presidential polls, will not contest on their platform in 2027.
The assertion was made in a statement signed by the party’s National Chairman, Dr Agbo Major, on Saturday.
According to NAN, Major was reacting to Buba Galadima’s remarks that Kwankwaso will stay with NNPP and run for presidency on the party’s platform in 2027.
Galadima also denied Kwankwaso will not join the All Progressives Congress, APC.
But Major has insisted that both Kwankwaso and Galadima remain expelled from the NNPP.
“We cannot even allow Kwankwaso for whatever reason to return on the NNPP fold because of the problems and internal wranglings he created for us,” Major said.
He added: “He does not have the pedigree to match President Tinubu in any contest and so his ambition is dead on arrival.”
