Kwankwaso Accused Of Betrayal As NNPP’s Tribunal Loss Attributed To Former Presidential Candidate....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

A prominent figure within the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the South-West, Alhaji Abass Akande Onilewura, has attributed the loss of Kano governor, Yusuf Abba, in the State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal to a former presidential candidate of the NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso. Onilewura alleged that Kwankwaso betrayed the NNPP by aligning with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in pursuit of a ministerial position in President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The Kano State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal, as reported by Ripples Nigeria, recently invalidated Abba’s victory and declared the APC candidate, Nasir Gawuna, as the winner of the March 18 governorship poll. The tribunal’s decision also entailed the withdrawal of the Certificate of Return previously presented to Yusuf by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), citing non-compliance with the 2022 electoral act.

Onilewura, in a statement issued on Thursday, contended that the NNPP’s electoral setback in Kano substantiated the allegations of anti-party conduct against Kwankwaso. He asserted that Kwankwaso’s purported involvement in anti-party activities significantly contributed to the party’s electoral loss as determined by the Kano Tribunal.

Onilewura further claimed that Kwankwaso disregarded due process when selecting certain gubernatorial candidates for the NNPP, resulting in the nomination of candidates who were unpopular or unacceptable to the electorate.

He stated, “This loss is a significant setback for NNPP, and it can be directly attributed to Kwankwaso’s self-serving actions, where he traded the party to the highest bidder. While awaiting the Certified True Copy of the tribunal’s judgment, it’s crucial to note that this outcome could have been prevented if Kwankwaso had adhered to due process and awarded the ticket to the most qualified candidate, rather than his inlaw.”

Onilewura also suggested that Kwankwaso’s prolonged engagement with the APC created opportunities for the opposition to exploit vulnerabilities that ultimately led to the defeat of Kano’s governor.

In conclusion, Onilewura expressed satisfaction that Kwankwaso had been expelled from NNPP and urged him to distance himself from the party. He reassured NNPP members that the party’s new leadership would work diligently to restore its prominence and serve as a robust voice for justice, equity, and good governance in the country.
