A former Governor of Kano State and national figure of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has categorically rejected assertions that he has submitted a letter of intent to align with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He expressed this in a prompt denial to reports regarding his possible defection to the APC.
This announcement follows escalating political discussions early Friday morning, which indicated that the former Defence Minister had initiated formal discussions with the APC and had commenced negotiations with the party’s National Chairman in private.
In a statement personally endorsed and disseminated by his media team on Friday, Kwankwaso dismissed the allegations, characterizing them as “online statements” devoid of credibility or substantiation.

“We have been alerted to some online statements suggesting that we have submitted a letter of intent to join a political party in the country,” the statement articulated.
“We would like to clarify that we have not made any such submission to any party. The public is therefore advised to stay informed of any further information regarding our matter through the established official channels,” he further noted.
The development has incited renewed speculation within political realms, particularly as the 2027 general elections begin to loom over the country’s dynamic political scene.
Earlier on Friday, reports emerged from political insiders within the APC suggesting that Senator Kwankwaso had purportedly sent a “discreet” letter to the party’s national secretariat expressing interest in joining.
The reports also suggested ongoing dialogues between Kwankwaso and the APC National Chairman, igniting a wave of reactions across social media platforms and party factions.
With the 2027 elections approaching and the APC reportedly seeking greater northern consolidation, insiders posit that both parties may be maintaining open lines of communication—despite no formal letter having been exchanged as of yet.
For the moment, Kwankwaso insists that no action has been undertaken—but in Nigerian politics, silence and denial often precede a meticulously planned upheaval.
