The national leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has outlined “specific conditions” under which he would consider rejoining the All Progressives Congress (APC), emphasizing that any political alliance “must respect the interests of his Kwankwasiyya Movement.”
Speaking at a stakeholder meeting in Kano, the former Kano State governor said, “I am willing to engage with the APC, but only under clear agreement that guarantees full recognition of my political movement, the Kwankwasiyya.”
He added, “My movement and its people are paramount to me, and I cannot abandon them for any political arrangement.”

Kwankwaso reflected on his role as one of the “founding fathers of the APC,” recalling that he and his allies “endured significant persecution” while challenging the previous administration.
However, he expressed disappointment that “when the party assumed power, we received no recognition or appreciation for our sacrifices, simply because we didn’t originate from their original faction.”
He also criticized the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for “similar maltreatment” when his group tried to return to the party.
He noted that they couldn’t even secure a “zonal paarty chairman position” for him, an experience that has strengthened his movement’s resolve for political independence.
The two-time presidential candidate emphasized that his political structure has become a “formidable force in Nigerian politics that cannot be overlooked.”
He stressed that they were content within the NNPP and “not desperate to leave.”
However, he stated, “However, we remain open to genuine partnerships with any party willing to honour agreement and treat us as equal partners.”
Kwankwaso concluded by saying that even if the PDP were to approach him, any future collaboration would require “transparent, publicly visible commitments to ensure accountability.”
