A former presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, has suggested that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and his supporters may soon join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ahmad made this known in a post on Thursday night on X, after Vice President Kashim Shettima referred to Kwankwaso as “NNPP-APC” during a public event.
Reacting to the statement, Ahmad wrote: “If nothing else, Vice President Shettima referring to Senator Kwankwaso as ‘NNPP-APC’ is a strong signal that the NNPP leader and his teeming supporters are on the verge of joining our great party, the APC.”
He added that this potential move would bring about long-desired political unity in Kano State.
“This will help to have a politically united Kano, something long desired for the progress and stability of our state,” he said.
Though there has been no official confirmation from Kwankwaso or the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), the comment has fueled speculation about a possible political realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.
