The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 general election, Engr. Rabiu Kwankwaso of orchestrating a campaign to undermine the political stature of the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje ahead of the 2027 elections.
National Legal Adviser of the APC, Abdulkareem Kana, made the allegation during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today where he blamed the NNPP leadership in Kano State of masterminding protests targeted at removing Ganduje from his position.
Kana maintained that the NNPP’s efforts would be unsuccessful in their goal to destabilise the APC, asserting, “These actions are aimed at scratching our surface, but they lack the capability to destabilise us.”
Kana defended Ganduje’s track record, stating, “I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Ganduje, and I’ve witnessed his dedication and inclusive leadership. He’s a seasoned administrator, and his contributions to our party are invaluable.”
In response, the National Publicity Secretary of the NNPP, Ladipo Johnson, dismissed the allegations, characterising the APC as a “confused party led by a delusional leader.”
Johnson stated that Kwankwaso has no involvement in Ganduje’s internal party issues, arguing that the APC chairman’s difficulties are of his own making and not due to any external interference.
Johnson remarked, “Ganduje’s troubles stem from his own actions, not any external interference. He’s currently embroiled in conflicts with his ward’s party executives and lacks the courage to face the charges against him in court.”
