The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, 2023 presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has denied recent political statements credited to him.
Kwankwaso, speaking on his verified X page on Saturday, said, “My attention has been drawn to a statement purportedly stating my position on the recurring political realignments in Nigeria.
“Those statements are certainly not from me.
“I wish to categorically state that such statements are false, unfounded, and products of political mischief.”
Kwankwaso added that he took a break from commenting on political issues in the country.
“I have refrained from commenting on contemporary political events and I will continue to do so for the time being.
“In this regard, I urge the public to only engage statements that come from my public handles and other official sources,” he said.
Recently, there were reports that Kwankwaso said he is going into alignment with some political actors to rescue Nigeria from the shackles of misgovernance and poverty.
The reports led to rumors that Kwankwaso might join the coalition spearheaded by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, which is aimed at defeating President Bola Tinubu in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
