Shehu Sagagi, the Chairman of the Kano State Peoples Democratic Party, has requested the party’s leadership to do everything necessary to prevent Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso from defecting.
Sagagi stated this during a visit to Kano by the presidential campaign team of Bukola Saraki, a former Senate President and PDP chieftain.
Prof Iyorwuese Hagber, Director of the Bukola Saraki Presidential Campaign Directorate, headed the team.

Bukola Saraki and other party officials, according to the Kano PDP chairman, must urge Kwankwaso not to defect.
He said that Kwankwaso’s departure from the PDP at this time will bode death for the party in the 2023 election, citing Kwankwaso’s powerful political structure.
“I am encouraging the PDP to have a conversation with Kwankwaso because allowing him to defect will not bode good for the PDP as a whole,” Sagagi added.
Musa Kwankwaso, the former governor of Kano State, revealed on Thursday that he will leave the PDP for the New Nigeria People Party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
In an interview with BBC Hausa, Kwankwaso stated that he will make his next political move before the end of March.
This is coming few days after the former governor while speaking on Nasara FM, in Kano asked Nigerians to look for an alternative to the All Progressives Congress and the PDP in the 2023 general elections.

Kwankwaso who claimed that the main political parties have nothing to offer said, “I didn’t see anything that either APC or PDP will show or tell Nigerians to get convinced and vote for them in the coming 2023 elections.
“So I think people should now come to think of the right party and people to support and vote for so that we can rescue the present situation.
“In 2015, we gave the leadership of the state to some, thinking that they will make it, but not knowing that it won’t yield any positive outcome. That is why we are back to rescue our state.”
