The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has disclosed that its presidential running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, never threatened to leave the party.
NDC National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, disclosed
that such claims were speculations aimed at demarketing the party.
In an interview with Arise News on Saturday night, Director
blamed the ruling party and some opposition members for such speculations.
He said: “At no time did our leader, Kwankwaso threatened to
leave the party, those were just conjectures and media speculations trying to
demarket the party and we know where they are coming from.
“Apart from media speculation and those who do not want us
to succeed, there were instances in a particular constituency in Delta State
where an incumbent allegedly supported five or six aspirants to run against
Collins Edema.”
It was widely reported that the former Kano State governor
threatened to dump the NDC if his candidates in Kano State were replaced.
NDC had replaced several candidates earlier submitted by the
Kwankwasiyya faction in Kano State over an alleged breach of a power-sharing
agreement.
According to a document signed by Kano State NDC Chairman,
Hon. Hussaini Isah Mairiga, the changes were made to reflect the earlier
agreement on the distribution of party positions and elective tickets between
the existing NDC structure and the Kwankwasiyya bloc.
