An aide to former President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, has expressed the readiness of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to welcome Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso back into the party. Ahmad made this statement on his verified Facebook page, sparking discussions within Nigeria’s political circles.
In his post, Ahmad stated, *“We will gladly welcome Sen. Rabi’u Kwankwaso and his people into our great party, the APC.”This declaration comes amidst growing speculation about Kwankwaso’s potential return to the APC, a party he played a significant role in forming ahead of the 2015 general elections during his tenure as Governor of Kano State.
Kwankwaso, who is currently the national leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has remained a prominent figure in Nigerian politics. His possible return to the APC is seen by many as a strategic move that could reshape the political landscape, particularly in Kano State, where he wields considerable influence.
Ahmad’s statement has fueled debates among political analysts and party members, with some viewing Kwankwaso’s return as a boost to the APC’s strength in the region. Others, however, question the implications of such a move for the NNPP and its supporters.
As the political climate heats up, all eyes are on Senator Kwankwaso to see whether he will heed the call and rejoin the party he once helped build.
