Former Kano State Governor and 2023 NNPP presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has officially resigned from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), citing the need for a strategic repositioning in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape.
In a statement released on Sunday, Kwankwaso described the decision as “difficult but necessary,” emphasizing that the move reflects his desire to align with a platform that offers the greatest potential to effect meaningful change in the country.
“I wish to formally announce my resignation from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) with immediate effect,” he said.
“As a committed and bonafide member of the party, this was not an easy decision. But considering the current political trajectory of the nation, I find it necessary to identify with another platform that will allow me to contribute more effectively to Nigeria’s future.”
Kwankwaso expressed heartfelt gratitude to NNPP leaders, including National Chairman Ajuji Ahmed, the National Working Committee, the Board of Trustees, and all party officials from the ward to state level for their unwavering support.
He also thanked members of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and party supporters for their loyalty.
“We shall continue to collaborate and work together towards charting a better and more prosperous future for our nation,” he added.
The former governor did not disclose which political party he intends to join next, leaving the nation speculating on his next move ahead of the 2027 elections.
