A former governor of Kano State,
Rabiu Kwankwaso has debunked reports making the rounds that he has defected
from the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
alongside some lawmakers.
Kwankwaso, a member of the
national Assembly, described the report as “malicious story” meant to tarnish
his image.
Reports emerged yesterday that
Rabiu Kwankwaso has dumped the All Progressives Congress,APC, for the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Kwankwaso’s chief of staff, Aminu
Abdussalam, who spoke to newsmen on Tuesday, said the report was “totally
unfounded.”
He said the senator and his
supporters had not at any time thought of leaving the APC.
According to him, the Kano State
government planted the story to cause disaffection among his supporters after
the national leadership of the APC recognised the leadership of Umar Doguwa as
the legitimate chairman of the party in the state.
According to him, “We have not at
any time contemplated leaving the APC. We were surprised and deeply appalled
when we read the story.
“The story was planted by Kano
State government and some political opponents who are threatened by the mass
followership Senator Kwankwaso enjoys nationwide.
“Kano State government was the
one that planted the same story last year, and its agents are still the same
characters spreading the false story.
“They are angry that the national
leadership of our great party, the APC, has endorsed the Umar Doguwa-led
chairmanship of the party in Kano and dismissed their sham congresses.”
