An All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart in Kano, Alhaji Abdulmajid Danbulki, popularly known as Commander, has warned president-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu against forming alliance with the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Danbulki made the call during a news conference in Kano on Thursday, following reports that Tinubu held a meeting with Kwankwaso in Paris, France.

He said that a political alliance with Kwankwaso will spell doom for Tinubu and the party and amount to a slight on some party members who may feel like that their efforts are not being appreciated.

He said: “We are making this statement because reports reaching us indicate that Tinubu had met with Kwankwaso in Paris, France, preparatory to allegedly bring him into the APC, and even give him and his followers some ministerial and other appointments.

“We, therefore, want to state categorically that if Bola Tinubu brings Kwankwaso into the APC and goes ahead to appoint him and his followers into his government, we will react in a manner that will not augur well for the APC in the North.”

According to Danbulki, the President-elect does not need Kwankwaso in the APC as there are notable stalwarts of the party in Kano and other parts of the North that would competently promote his interest and that of the party in the region.

“As members of the APC in Kano State and the North, we worked hard to ensure the victory of the APC and Bola Tinubu in the last general elections and we remain committed and competent enough to continue to ensure the success of the party in future polls.

“Bringing someone like Kwankwaso into the party, therefore, will amount to a slight on us, because we will feel like our efforts are not being appreciated.

“We, therefore, advise the President-elect to stop forthwith, any efforts to associate with Kwankwaso either for the purpose of giving him appointments or bringing him into the APC, or both, in the interest of the party.

“As members of the APC, we have worked very hard from its inception to nurture it to greatness and to ensure its success in elections. We will frown at any move that could breed disharmony in the party,” he said. Read more.
