Why I dumped Kwankwaso, NNPP – Shekarau

Ibrahim Shekarau revealed why he left the Rabiu Kwankwaso-led New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

Shekarau accused Kwankwaso of “manipulating” him and his supporters.

Shekarau made this claimed on Thursday in an interview with Channels Television.

Speaking on why he left the NNPP, Shekarau stated that the party did not include the name of any of his associates on the candidates’ list sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), despite the establishment of a committee to ensure a merger between his associates and Kwankwaso’s allies.

“Our guiding principle, which is known to all my political associates, is the protection of our image and integrity, and you can’t have your integrity protected if there is not going to be sincerity and if there is not going to be trust and truth,” he added.

“There was not any promise or assurances except the assurances of being fair, sincere and trustworthy with the associates that we have,” he said.

“That is what we are looking for anywhere we move, Two things are our guiding principles — what kind of people are you interacting with and what kind of interaction are you promotion. Through our interactions with the PDP, we were satisfied.”
