The New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, has appealed to Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State not to defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The Chairman of the NNPP in Kano State, Suleiman Dungurawa, made this appeal at a press briefing on Monday in Kano.
Dungurawa also debunked speculations that some party members were planning to create enmity between the governor and the national leader of the party, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The Kano NNPP chairman further advised residents of the state to remain calm and continue with their lawful activities.
He, however, warned party members not to append their names to documents allegedly being circulated by mischief makers.
“On behalf of all of us collectively, we once again appeal to them, for the sake of Allah and the Prophet, not to leave this party and not to defect to the party that we have opposed and which the masses and other voters have rejected.
“We are aware of the developments happening here in Kano State concerning some individuals who intend to defect to the APC.
“I want to make it clear that the Kano State party, the national party, and our national leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, together with other leaders, do not approve of what is happening.”
Recall that the Director-General of the Protocol Directorate of Kano State Government House, Abdullahi Rogo, had said that citizens of the state and voters have agreed that Rabiu Kwankwaso and Governor Abba Yusuf should defect to the APC from the NNPP.
