All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has said the ruling party remains the best political option for Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and his New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
APC spokesperson, Mr Seye Oladejo, made this known in a statement issued on Friday in Lagos.
Oladejo noted that the party had followed with keen interest the political trajectory of Kwankwaso, the 2023 NNPP presidential candidate and leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement.
He said speculations about Kwankwaso’s possible return to APC reflected the reality of NNPP’s limited reach.
“The truth, which even Kwankwaso himself cannot deny, is that the NNPP has become little more than a regional experiment – spirited, yes, but without the spread, depth, or resilience required to thrive on the national stage. The NNPP’s limitations are obvious, and to continue in denial is to waste the loyalty of his teeming followers on a platform that cannot carry them far,” Oladejo said.
He described APC as the strongest and most inclusive political family in the country.
“For a politician of Kwankwaso’s stature, only the APC has the structure and vision capable of amplifying his relevance and securing his legacy,” he added.
Oladejo urged Kwankwaso to stop expending political energy on parties with no capacity to actualise his ambitions.
“We extend a hand of fellowship to Senator Kwankwaso and his movement. The time has come to stop wasting political energy in experiments destined for the archives of history. In politics, the wise man joins the winning caravan, while the stubborn one is left behind in the dust. The APC is the natural home for Kwankwaso, his followers, and all well-meaning Nigerians who want to remain on the right side of history,” he said.
He dismissed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as no longer credible and described other political parties as unstable platforms without direction.
“For Kwankwaso and the NNPP, joining APC is not just the best bet, it is the only bet. PDP is a sinking ship. Other opposition parties are scattered bands of frustrated defectors. APC remains the only true national platform where ambition meets opportunity, where loyalty is rewarded, and where collective progress is placed above petty personal interest,” Oladejo said.
