The New Nigeria Peoples Party has blasted Rabiu Kwankwaso for describing members of the Kwankwassiya Movement, who defected to the APC, as betrayers. The party recently revealed that it is the case of a pot calling the kettle black, because Kwankwaso is the real betrayer.
Speaking via a press statement issued today, the NNPP National Chairman, Dr Agbo Major, revealed that the Kwankwasiya movement is not a political party but a group admitted into the NNPP in the wake of the 2023 presidential elections.
According to him, since the party has long ended its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kwankwaso and his Kwankwasia movement, members of the movement are legally allowed to join any political party of their choice.
“Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso have been expelled from NNPP and, together with his followers, led by Dr Ahmed Ajuji.
The NNPP has long severed its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kwankwaso and his Kwankwasia movement after the presidential elections in 2023; hence, members of the movement, as Nigerian citizens, are legally free to join any political party of their choice,” he said.

Agbo disclosed that Kwankwaso is the last person who should talk about loyalty after he betrayed the trust placed in him by the NNPP when he shamelessly tried to hijack the party.
He insisted that Kwankwaso lost all respect of those who believed in him when he tried to bite the fingers that handed him the presidential ticket without any financial obligations.
“The same Kwankwaso who betrayed the trust reposed in him by the NNPP when he tried to hijack the party is the one calling others betrayers.
Nigerians have the constitutional right to join and belong to any political party of their choice
Therefore, Kwankwaso, who have long lost control of his Kwankwasiya movement, cannot stop his members from belonging to the APC and/or any other political party in Nigeria
Kwankwaso lost all respect from his followers when he tried to bite the fingers that gave him the presidential ticket on trust without any financial obligations.
Kwankwaso has long been expelled from the NNPP and should either register his own party or look for another political platform to hijack.
His members defecting to the APC simply shows that he has also lost control of the movement, just like he lost his planned hijack of the NNPP, registered in 2002 before his entrance in 2023.
Kwankwaso’s political career ended with his expulsion from the NNPP and the consequent defection of his followers,” he added.
