The ex-defence minister said his decision takes immediate effect. Kwankwaso, who was national leader of the NNPP, said the decision to quit was not an easy one and thanked the party for the opportunity to serve.
“I wish to formally announce my resignation from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) with immediate effect,” he said.
“I seize this opportunity to express my profound gratitude for the honour and privilege of serving as the Party’s National Leader and its Presidential Candidate in the 2023 General Elections.
“As a committed and bonafide member of the party, this was not an easy decision to make.”
Kwankwaso said the current political climate in the country left him with no other choice.
He said he would align with another political platform that offers an opportunity to change the nation’s trajectory.
“However, considering the current trajectory of the nation’s political landscape, which calls for strategic realignment, I have found it necessary to identify with another political platform that offers the best opportunity to effectively change the nation,” he said.
Kwankwaso thanked Ajuji Ahmed, national chairman of the party, and members of the national working committee (NWC).
He also appreciated members of the board of trustees and the national executive committee.
Kwankwaso thanked party leaders across all levels, including ward and state structures.
He also acknowledged supporters of the Kwankwasiyya movement.
“I extend my deepest appreciation to the National Chairman, Ajuji Ahmed and the entire National Working Committee for their steadfast support throughout my time,” he said.
“I also want to thank the Board of Trustees, the National Executive Committee, and every level of leadership in the party — from the ward to the state level — along with the legacy members of the party and all supporters of the Kwankwasiyya Movement for their hard work and loyalty to our common goal.”
Kwankwaso said he is still determined to work with political leaders to create a better future for Nigeria.
“We will keep working together to build a brighter and more successful future for our country,” he said.
On Saturday, the Kwankwasiyya movement announced that Kwankwaso will join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Monday.
Last week, Kwankwaso met with leaders from the Kano ADC and Rauf Aregbesola, who is the national secretary of the ADC.
