Kwankwaso's Unrealistic Demands Lead to Collapse of APC Courtship

Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso's attempt to court the APC for a political deal collapsed due to unrealistic demands, such as seeking control over 20% of the party's structure and a guaranteed vice-presidential slot until 2031. This led to the breakdown of negotiations, with top APC sources deeming Kwankwaso's demands excessive and impractical.

Kwankwaso's departure from the NNPP was influenced by his dominant attitude, as Governor Abba Yusuf left the party due to Kwankwaso's behavior. The APC viewed Kwankwaso's demands as an overreach, especially in seeking a presidential or vice-presidential ticket for the 2027 general elections.

Despite Kwankwaso's focus on long-term political influence, his demands were seen as unrealistic and beyond what the APC was willing to concede. The collapse of the courtship highlighted the challenges Kwankwaso faces in maintaining his political relevance and influence in the North-West region.
