Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso (APC-Kano Central) on Tuesday denied reports saying he has left the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The denial was made by his chief of staff, Aminu Abdulsalam, while speaking to newsmen. He said the reports of his principal cross-carpeting are “totally unfounded”.
According to him, neither the former Kano state governor nor his supporters have any intention of switching parties.
He accused the Kano state government of planting the story in the media as part of its smear campaign against Kwankwaso.
“We have not at any time contemplated leaving the APC. We were surprised and deeply appalled when we read the story.
“The story was planted by Kano state government and some political opponents who are threatened by the mass followership Senator Kwankwaso enjoys nationwide.
“They are angry that the national leadership of our great party, the APC, has endorsed the Umar Doguwa-led chairmanship of the party in Kano and dismissed their sham congresses,” he said.
