A former presidential spokesman, Bashir Ahmad has raised concerns that the planned defection of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, national leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso to the African Democratic Congress, would have negative impacts on the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
DAILY POST reports that Kwankwaso is reportedly set to join the ADC on Monday as opposition figures realign against President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Reacting to Kwankwaso’s move, Bashir in a post on his official X handle lamented the negative impacts it may have on the ruling party.
Bashir, however, said the challenge is not insurmountable, stating that if the ruling party puts its affairs in proper order, it may emerge victorious in the next election.
He wrote, “Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso’s defection to the other side may have an impact on our overall performance in Kano. However, this is not insurmountable.
“As long as we keep our house intact and put our affairs in proper order, victory is still very much within our reach”.
