Kano APC Offers Conditional Welcome to Kwankwaso Amid Defection Rumors
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has declared its readiness to welcome Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), into its fold—but only under strict conditions.
During a press conference at the APC secretariat on Friday, state chairman Abdullahi Abbas confirmed the party’s awareness of growing speculation that Kwankwaso, leader of a faction of the NNPP, is planning to join the APC. Abbas stated that although the party is open to new members, including political heavyweights, it would not compromise its principles.

He explained that all ward chapters have been instructed to open registers for new entrants, regardless of their background. However, he emphasized that those joining must follow due process and not expect preferential treatment.
Abbas accused some prospective defectors of using the APC as a political refuge after losing relevance elsewhere, and warned that the party would not shield anyone from anti-corruption agencies like the EFCC or ICPC.

In a pointed remark, he said that any individuals who had previously made disparaging comments about President Bola Tinubu or Vice President Kashim Shettima must publicly apologize as a condition for entry, highlighting that respect for the party’s leadership is non-negotiable.
Abbas concluded by warning that the APC would not tolerate cult-like political groupings and reaffirmed that all members, old or new, must adhere to the constitution of the party.
