NNPP is dead, will soon be buried very, very soon. I’m hoping that where we will put the dead body, the coffin has already been constructed – Ganduje
Abdullahi Ganduje, who serves as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, has issued a statement in which he asserts that Rabiu Kwankwaso, the head of the National Democratic Party of Nigeria (NNPP) and a former governor of Kano State, will join the ruling party.
In addition to this, he asserted that the New Nigeria Peoples Party is dead and will soon be buried.
Ganduje made this statement on Tuesday in Abuja, Nigeria, during a courtesy visit to the APC national secretariat by the Tinubu Support Group. He also stated that his leadership is open to the possibility of Kwankwaso rejoining the party.
Ganduje claimed that the purported anti-Tinubu alliance will soon disintegrate and its leaders will re-join the APC before 2027.
Ganduje said, “The NNPP is dead. And it will soon be buried very, very soon. I’m hoping that where we will put the dead body, the coffin has already been constructed.
“What remains now is to dig the grave. And already they are digging the grave very, very soon.

“Even like that, the so-called NNPP national leader, he too, he says after losing everyone, he wants to come back to us, we will welcome him, because he’s coming back home.”
Recall that the Member representing Kiru/Bebeji constituency, Kano, Dr Abdulmumin Jibrin called for an urgent reconciliation between former Governors of the state, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Umar Ganduje amidst their lingering feud, so as to move the state forward.
This was just as he charged all well-meaning citizens of Kano to join hands together in reconciling the two political leaders for the betterment of the state.
Jibrin who is the Chairman House Committee on Housing and Habitat described the feud between the duo as unfortunate and a setback for Kano State.
He said, “They were friends for a long time, and they started good things together but what is happening between them is sad and painful”.
“Whoever is aware of what is happening in Kano knows that the genesis will not be unconnected to the lingering feud between Kwankwaso and Ganduje.
“Everybody knows we are all members of NNPP and disciples of Senator Kwankwaso and his movement Kwankwasiyya. But it is an obligation upon some of us to force a reconciliation between the duo.
“They were friends for a long time, and they started good things together but what is happening between them is sad and painful. This is not a time to open old wounds but a time to embrace a future of peace, unity, tranquillity, progress and development.
“Whether they like it or not, the issue of politics is something different, it is their choice but as Muslims we have a duty to do the right thing by reconciling them.”
