NDC Denies Kwankwaso's Threat to Leave Party Amid Tensions

The Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) has publicly refuted allegations that Rabiu Kwankwaso, its presidential running mate, threatened to leave the party. Osa, the party's director, described these claims as unfounded speculation intended to undermine the party's credibility.

He emphasized that there is no truth to the rumors circulating in the media, which he believes are designed to disrupt the party's success. The context for these claims includes internal tensions within the NDC, particularly in Delta State, where incumbent members are reportedly supporting multiple candidates against Collins Edema.

Additionally, there are concerns regarding the Kwankwasiyya faction in Kano State, which has allegedly breached a power-sharing agreement that was previously established and signed by the NDC's Kano State chairman, Hussaini Isah Mairiga. This situation has led to the replacement of several candidates that had been submitted earlier.
