The New Nigeria People’s Party has apologised to President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress over recent verbal attacks on them by the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

The party warned Kwankwaso against further using its platform to attack Tinubu and the APC, saying the former Kano State governor had been expelled from the NNPP.

In a statement issued yesterday in Lagos, the NNPP’s National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Oginni Olaposi, disowned Kwankwaso’s comments, stating that the party has formally severed ties with him and the Kwankwasiya Movement he leads.

He clarified that Kwankwaso no longer represents the NNPP in any capacity, following the formal termination of the Memorandum of Understanding between the party and the Kwankwasiya Movement.
