Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Buba Galadima, has dismissed claims that the party\u2019s presidential candidate in the last election, Rabiu Kwankwaso, is defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

Galadima said Kwankwaso was yet to inform the NNPP that he would be joining the APC.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Channels Television, the NNPP chieftain, however, noted that Kwankwaso was ready to work with President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n

According to Galadima: \u201cKwankwaso has not told anybody he is joining the APC; people are just talking, but what we have before is winner take all. If Tinubu is calling for a unity government, it is not a bad thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kwankwaso has been seen around Tinubu since the latter won the presidential election in February.<\/p>\n

There are beliefs that Tinubu might give Kwankwaso a political appointment.<\/p>\n
