The 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has announced his resignation from the party with immediate effect.
Kwankwaso made this known on Sunday, expressing gratitude for the honour and privilege of serving as the party’s National Leader and its presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections.
He stated that, as a committed and bona fide member of the party, the decision was not an easy one to make. However, considering the current trajectory of the nation’s political landscape which calls for strategic realignment, he found it necessary to align with another political platform that offers the best opportunity to effectively transform the nation.
“I extend my deepest appreciation to the National Chairman, Ajuji Ahmed, and the entire National Working Committee for their steadfast support throughout my time. I also thank the Board of Trustees, the National Executive Committee, and all levels of leadership across the party, from the ward to the state level, as well as the legacy members of the party and all followers of the Kwankwasiyya Movement for their dedication and commitment to our shared mission.
“We shall continue to collaborate and work together towards charting a better and more prosperous future for our dear nation,” he stated.
In his letter of resignation, Kwankwaso did not disclose the new political party he intends to join.
