There are indications that former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, may have concluded plans to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the New Peoples Party of Nigeria (NNPP) to realise his ambition of running for the presidency in 2023, IgbereTV reports.
This came following a secret meeting on Tuesday between Kwankwaso and the leadership of the NNPP in Abuja, with some of his close aides saying it was just a matter of time before the ex-Kano Governor would make his decision known to the Nigerian populace.
It was gathered that the meeting was aimed at finalizing his move to the NNPP, on which platform he would use to push for his 2023 presidential ambition.
Kwankwaso’s moves to defect from the PDP was further given impetus when the outgoing National Secretary of the NNPP, Ambassador Agbo Gilbert Major, spoke at the party’s Special National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting late Tuesday, also held in Abuja
