Stop daydreaming, face reality, APC blasts Kwankwaso

The Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has dismissed claims by former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, that he would significantly reduce the APC’s votes in the state during the 2027 elections.

In a statement on Thursday, the state APC Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, described Kwankwaso’s assertion as laughable and called on him to focus on reclaiming his membership in the New Nigeria Peoples Party, from which he was reportedly ousted.

Abbas branded Kwankwaso a “political refugee,” accusing him of latching onto the state governor, Abba Yusuf, in a desperate bid to remain relevant in Nigerian politics.

“We urge Kwankwaso to stop daydreaming and face reality. His misplaced confidence in reducing the APC’s votes in Kano State is nothing but wishful thinking. Our party remains the people’s choice,” Abbas said.

The APC chairman alleged that the NNPP’s performance in the 2023 elections was largely due to “manipulated votes,” vowing that such tactics would not be tolerated in future elections.

“Our teeming supporters in the APC have no reason to worry about Kwankwaso, who has been booted out of the NNPP due to his cluelessness and self-centeredness. He is now a wanderer in the political landscape,” Abbas stated.

He continued, “Kwankwaso left the APC because he couldn’t align with our progressive ideals. His overblown ego also forced him to abandon the PDP. Now, even the NNPP has rejected him, leaving him politically homeless.”
