On Sunday, Kwankwaso announced his resignation from the NNPP, where he said, “I wish to formally announce my resignation from the New Nigeria Peoples Party with immediate effect.”
“As a committed and bona fide member of the party, this was not an easy decision to make. However, considering the current trajectory of the nation’s political landscape, which calls for strategic realignment, I have found it necessary to identify with another political platform that offers the best opportunity to effectively change the nation.”
He appreciated party leadership, members and supporters of the Kwankwasiyya Movement for their support during his time in the party.
“We shall continue to collaborate and work together towards charting a better and more prosperous future for our dear nation.”
