Just In: Kwankwaso’s coordinator dumps NNPP, says party can’t win elections

Dr. Babayo Liman, the state coordinator for Bauchi for the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso, has defected to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

 

 

At a news conference on Monday in Bauchi, Liman, the party’s North-East Zonal Secretary, announced his resignation.

 

 

“I want to formally inform the general public, especially members of the NNPP in Bauchi State, North-East, and Nigeria at large, that I have resigned as a member of the NNPP.

 

 

“I have also resigned as the Zonal Secretary of the North-East as well as member and coordinator of the Presidential Campaign Council of the NNPP presidential candidate, Dr. Rabiu Kwnkwaso.

 

 

“Let the general public know that I have withdrawn my membership from the NNPP, I am no more with the NNPP from today,” he said.

 

 

He said that he ditched the NNPP for the PDP alongside large numbers of his supporters, adding that the party lacked the structure to win elections in the country.

 

 

He said that his decision to switch camps also stemmed from the internal crisis, flagrant disregard for the rule of law, and lack of unity among members due to the poor leadership of the party.

 

 

According to him, the NNPP’s leadership poorly managed its affairs resulting in the emergence of various factions.

 

 

He, therefore, canvassed votes for the PDP and its candidates at all levels in the forthcoming election.

 

 

Also speaking, Yusuf Marafa, Ward Chairman of the PDP, Makama Sarkin-Baki in Bauchi Local Government Area of the state, welcomed the defectors.

 

 

He described PDP as the most organized party of any other political party and conducted its affairs like a family.

 

 

 

He pledged that the party would accommodate and ensure equal treatment of its members. CONTINUE READING…………………………………………..
