By A former member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin has described the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso as the “best bet” for a new Nigeria.
Jibrin, who was the Director-General of the Tinubu Support Management Council, recently joined the NNPP after defecting from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The ex-lawmaker had revealed that he dumped the ruling party “to survive an onslaught by a vengeful man” who many presumed to be his erstwhile political benefactor, Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.
Following his defection, he immediately withdrew his involvement with the campaign of former Lagos State governor and presidential hopeful, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
In a rather interesting twist of events, Jibrin is now backing the NNPP presidential flagbearer who, according to him, is “grounded in governance and leadership”.
He took to his Twitter page on Tuesday to highlight Kwankwaso’s professional and political credentials.
