The 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, said he has no plans to leave the party but remains open to discussions with political stakeholders.
Speaking at the NNPP’s 9th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja, Kwankwaso dismissed speculations about his political future.
“Many people thought today we will announce whether I will stay in NNPP or go to another party or join some individuals. That was not the intention of the meeting. We have our party, and we are comfortable and happy,” Kwankwaso said.
