PDP is dead, it does not exist in Kano -NNPP

The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Kano State has declared the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) “politically dead” in the state.

NNPP Chairman in Kano, Hashim Dungurawa, made the declaration while speaking with newsmen in the state.

Dungurawa cited the recent defections of PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa, as proof that the party is no longer viable. “How can a serious party allow its own presidential candidate to leave the party?” he asked.

The NNPP Chairman described PDP as an “empty house” with no influential leaders left. He noted that even the party’s presidential candidate and vice-presidential candidate had defected to other parties. “Atiku is no longer there. His vice, Okowa is no longer there. Even the people that conducted the primaries before the 2023 general election, Amaechi, is now in ADC,” he said.

Dungurawa asserted that PDP is no longer a force to be reckoned with in Kano State. “There’s only one party in Kano State. We have NNPP as a party and we have Kwankwasiyya as an organisation where people are trooping into,” he said.

The NNPP Chairman also dismissed PDP’s claims of bouncing back and forming a formidable force in the state. “You are bouncing to come back to the field or you are bouncing to go out of the field. So, they (PDP) are bouncing to go out of the field,” he said.
