The House of Representatives member representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has said it should not surprise anyone if he decides to leave the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
Jibrin explained this during an interview with DCL Hausa, noting that although the Kwankwasiyya movement helped him return to the National Assembly in 2023, he also made sacrifices for the party.
He said even the party (NNPP) itself said it is open to negotiations with other parties, and he doesn’t have to follow on the party’s path.
He further said that even if they part ways politically, he would always hold Kwankwaso in high regard and not insult him, just as he never insulted former Kano Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje despite their differences.
Asked if he is about to dump the NNPP, Jibrin said, “Nothing is impossible. I can remain in NNPP, I can go back to APC, I can join ADC or PDP or even PRP. I can go to wherever I like. Any time I decide, I will make my position known.”
Although still a member of the opposition NNPP, Jibrin remains a close ally of President Bola Tinubu, having served as his campaign director in 2023 before leaving the APC.
Just a few days ago, Jibrin told Channels Television that Kwankwaso himself is open to rejoining the ruling party.
Jibrin, though not an official spokesperson for Kwankwaso has been very vocal on possible move of the former governor to the APC.
He said Kwankwaso’s door is open to negotiations with the ruling APC ahead of 2027.
