The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has declared that the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) is dead, hinting that its leader and former governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, is set to return to the ruling party.
Speaking on Tuesday in Abuja during a courtesy visit by the Tinubu Support Group to the APC National Secretariat, Ganduje stated that the party under his leadership was ready to welcome Kwankwaso back into its fold.
According to him, the APC has been receiving prominent politicians and lawmakers from various regions of the country, further solidifying the party’s dominance.
“The NNPP is dead. And it will soon be buried very, very soon. I’m hoping where we will put the dead body, the coffin has already been constructed,” Ganduje said.
He continued, “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 also dismissed ongoing efforts by opposition elements to form a coalition against President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections, predicting that such alliances would eventually collapse, with their key figures returning to the APC.
