National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has declared the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) as “practically dead,” citing signs that its presidential candidate, Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, is preparing to return to the ruling party.

Ganduje made the remarks on Tuesday during a meeting with the Tinubu Support Group in Abuja. He described the NNPP’s current state with a vivid analogy: “The coffin has already been constructed; what remains now is to dig the grave.”
The former Kano State governor, who was once a close political associate of Kwankwaso, referred to the expected defection as a “homecoming,” assuring that the APC would gladly welcome him back.
Although the two leaders have had a strained relationship in recent years, Ganduje expressed readiness to set differences aside, saying the APC remains open to receiving its former members.
Kwankwaso, founder of the NNPP and its 2023 presidential candidate, has not declared his intention to return to the APC.
