Former governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has revealed why he decamped from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
Kwankwaso made this known while receiving his membership card of the NNPP, urging Nigerians to join and vote for the party in the forth coming election.
The former senator blamed his defection on the crisis rocking the PDP.
He said, “We had a situation in April last year where zonal positions were being shared among the States and all leaders in the six other States were given the opportunity to nominate. But in Kano, some people felt I wasn’t that important, so they had to do what they did.
“That is what triggered the issue (defection) and I spent almost a year now waiting for the PDP to talk to me, even the new leadership, to come and talk to me; they didn’t want to talk to me.”
The former minister also stated that there were irreconcilable differences between himself and some leaders of the party.
