The Kwankwasiyya Movement has explained the purported threat made by Rabiu Kwankwaso, the movement’s leader, to leave the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to a statement released by its spokesperson, Habibu Mohammed, Kwankwaso has never threatened to quit the party due to the candidates’ replacements.
The group referred to the rumors as mere conjecture.
Kwankwaso never made a threat to quit the NDC. According to the statement, neither the Kwankwasiyya Movement nor its leader are protesting.
According to reports, if loyalists who were previously chosen by the bloc were replaced, the Kwankwasiyya Movement would leave the party.
Recall that the rumors surfaced when the group substituted a number of candidates, allegedly violating a previous power-sharing pact. Mohammed denied the accusations.
The group’s spokesperson noted that the party primaries were held on May 29 in accordance with the Electoral Act and INEC regulations, and that the results were confirmed that same day.
He claimed that the NDC members and stakeholders have previously decided on a consensus approach when needed, approved candidates appropriately, and delivered the list without internal disputes.
He went on to say that Kwankwaso had not expressed any complaints to the movement’s party.
