Kwankwaso denies NDC exit rumors, primaries submitted to party
Kwankwasiyya movement dismisses social media rumors suggesting Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is planning to leave NDC. Spokesman Habeeb Saleh Mohammed described claims as 'false and unfounded,' explaining they conducted nationwide primaries on May 29, 2026 following INEC timetable. The process included consensus-building with no complaints from party members. Results have been submitted to NDC leadership for next steps. The reaction follows reports claiming Kwankwaso threatened to pull his structure over allegations NDC replaced Kano candidates submitted by his bloc, potentially breaching a 60/40 power-sharing agreement. With 2027 elections approaching, will this internal party unity hold despite the reported tensions?
