The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has berated former Kano state governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso for his claim that the party is “dead” in Nigeria.
The PDP described Kwankwaso’s statement as a display of selfishness, inflated ego, and an exaggerated sense of self-importance.
In response to media inquiries via WhatsApp from Abuja, PDP National Publicity Secretary Mr. Debo Ologunagba accused Kwankwaso, who was the 2023 presidential candidate for the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), of lacking true leadership qualities.
Ologunagba emphasized that Kwankwaso’s only notable national recognition came during his time with the PDP.
On Saturday, during the inauguration of NNPP’s renovated party office in Katsina State, Kwankwaso had said that he and his followers left the PDP because “it is dead.”
He told his supporters: “I wish to remind you that PDP is dead because we left the party. Since they have gone out of the line, we decided to check out,” adding that the NNPP is now set to take over many other states and that he is set to become President in 2027.
However, in an angry reaction on Sunday, the PDP spokesman said that his party does not have a strong need to join issues with Kwankwaso who is now a victim of his illusion.
