The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has declared that the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) was dead and it will soon be buried.
The APC national chairman also hinted that the 2023 presidential candidate of NNPP and the party’s national leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, will soon come back to the ruling party which he had been a member.
Ganduje, who stated this when he hosted leaders and members of the Tinubu Support Group (TSG) at the APC national secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday, said the ruling party under his leadership will welcome Kwankwaso and other opposition leaders back to the ‘broom family’.
He also said the on-going coalition moves by opposition leaders against President Bola Tinubu ahead of 2027 general elections will soon collapse.
Ganduje said his leadership has been receiving prominent politicians and lawmakers across the country into the APC in the recent times, noting that the move by the former Kano State governor to return to the governing party was due to the dwindling fortunes of NNPP.
He said: “the NNPP is dead. And it will soon be buried very, very soon. I’m looking at where we will bury the body, the coffin has already been constructed. What remains now is to dig the grave. And already they are digging the grave very, very soon.
“Even like that, the so-called NNPP national leader, he too, he says after losing everyone, he wants to come back to us, we will welcome him, because he’s coming back home.”
Ganduje charged all APC support groups to remain committed and continue to support the Tinubu-led administration, assuring them of inclusion in the party’s activities.
