The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has declared that it remains the best option for Rabiu Kwankwaso, the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), and his supporters. The statement, released on Friday by Lagos APC spokesman Mr. Seye Oladejo, noted that the party has been closely monitoring Kwankwaso’s political trajectory and that there have been suggestions he may consider returning to the APC.
Oladejo argued that the NNPP lacks the spread, depth, and resilience needed to thrive on the national stage. He warned that continuing to deny these limitations would waste the loyalty of Kwankwaso’s followers. In contrast, he described the APC as the strongest, most inclusive, and most formidable political party in Nigeria—capable of uniting diverse tendencies from north to south and providing tested leadership that delivers real governance.
The spokesman urged Kwankwaso to stop expending political energy on platforms that cannot realize his dreams or those of his supporters. He extended a hand of fellowship to Senator Kwankwaso and his movement, emphasizing that the time has come to abandon experiments destined for the archives of history. Oladejo dismissed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a laughing stock that has outlived its relevance and characterized other opposition parties as “a party of contradictions, riddled with infighting and consumed by desperation.”
Reiterating that the APC remains the only true national platform where ambition meets opportunity and collective progress outweighs petty personal interest, Oladejo stressed that joining the APC is not merely the best bet for Kwankwaso and the NNPP but the only viable one, given the limitations of other opposition parties. The APC’s invitation to Kwankwaso and his supporters could have significant implications for Nigeria’s evolving political landscape.
