The Kano State Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Hashimu Dungurawa, unequivocally refutes the swirling speculations of a purported political alliance with President Bola Tinubu to secure the state’s governance.

These speculations gained momentum following a meeting between NNPP leader, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and Tinubu at the Presidential Villa. However, Dungurawa dismisses these claims as baseless, reaffirming that the NNPP stands independent and unwavering in its mission to uphold its mandate in Kano State.

Dismissing the rumors, Dungurawa emphasized that the NNPP does not rely on external alliances to maintain its foothold in Kano State. He harked back to 2015, when Tinubu and Kwankwaso collaborated, ultimately securing victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former President Muhammadu Buhari in Kano and Nigeria. Dungurawa highlighted Kwankwaso’s instrumental role in delivering resounding victories for the APC in Kano during both the 2015 and 2019 elections.

Enumerating the historical victories, Dungurawa underscored that President Tinubu, seeking to extricate himself from the influence of Governor Ganduje, acknowledges the significance of aligning with Kwankwaso. He emphasized that despite the negative machinations of Ganduje and his cohorts leading up to the Supreme Court judgment, the ultimate authority rests with a higher power.

Furthermore, Dungurawa revealed that President Tinubu was drawn to the NNPP’s people-centric initiatives in Kano, leading to discussions on governance matters. However, he lamented the unwarranted suspicions harbored by the APC in Kano, misinterpreting the meeting as a ploy to safeguard the NNPP’s mandate.

In essence, the NNPP remains resolute in its commitment to Kano’s welfare, unruffled by external conjectures, and steadfast in its dedication to governance centered on the people.

The NNPP’s steadfast stance underscores its unwavering dedication to the socio-political landscape of Kano, rooted in its commitment to uplifting the aspirations of the people and advancing the state’s progress.

The deft navigation of political intricacies by the NNPP signifies its unwavering dedication to the well-being of Kano, transcending the transient ebbs and flows of political conjecture.
