The immediate past National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, insisted yesterday that the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 elections, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, must follow “due process” if he wishes to return to the ruling party.
Speaking in an interview with BBC Hausa, the immediate past Kano governor made it clear that the APC “has no objection to the reported move by Kwankwaso to join APC.”
Ganduje was responding to the reported moves and demands by his predecessor and former benefactor on a possible return and NNPP’s merger with the APC.

Ganduje emphasized that Kwankwaso, who had frosty ties with him and later left the APC, must accept certain conditions before rejoining.
Fielding questions from BBC Hausa, Ganduje stated that the APC operates by rules and guidelines, and Kwankwaso must comply with them before being admitted.
Ganduje said he had heard about the plans, stating: “We’ve heard about Kwankwaso’s return plans. In democracy, the vote of a thief and that of a cleric carry equal weight. So, we won’t shut our doors to anyone.”
He added, “Anyone who wants to join is welcome, but they must follow due process. We have rules and a constitution. If they return, we’ll welcome them, but we will name it for what it is: they’ve vomited and now they’re licking it back.”
