A former governor of Kano State, Musa Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Tuesday ended speculations about his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) when he finally left the party for the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and registered as a member in preparation for the 2023 election.
This is the second time he is leaving the opposition party, having done so previously in the run-up to the 2015 elections.
He returned to PDP before the 2019 elections.
Kwankwaso registered for the NNPP and obtained its membership card during a brief ceremony in Abuja.
According to him, he was leaving PDP because of the failure of its leadership and lack of internal democracy.
The former Minister of Defence during a press conference held in Abuja said that in 2021 he was sidelined from the activities of the PDP and waited for the leadership of party to talk to him for over one year but got no response.
