The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC has dismissed reports that Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso had threatened to leave the party over disagreements surrounding candidate selection in Kano State.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, described the claims as “conjectures and media speculations” aimed at undermining the party.
He made the claim during an interview on Arise News at the weekend.
He said “At no time did our leader, Kwankwaso, threaten to leave the party. Those were just conjectures and media speculations trying to demarket the party, and we know where they are coming from,” he said.
According to him, the reports were being fueled by political opponents and other interests seeking to create the impression of a crisis within the NDC.
His comments followed reports linking Kwankwaso to dissatisfaction over recent adjustments to the party’s candidate list in Kano State.
The controversy arose after the NDC replaced some nominees initially submitted by the Kwankwasiyya movement, the political bloc loyal to the former Kano State governor.
