The Kano State chapter of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has urged the Presidency and the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) to publicly clear the party’s National Leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, of alleged links to terrorism.
The call was made in a statement issued on Friday by the party’s Kano State Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Karaye.
Karaye said the NNPP expects the Federal Government to promptly address what he described as “unverified accusations” against Kwankwaso.
“We are urging the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Office of the National Security Adviser to promptly issue a statement clearing the name of our National Leader, Senator Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, from accusations of sponsoring terrorism,” he said.
The party described Kwankwaso as a patriotic Nigerian who has contributed to education and human capital development in the country.
“The NNPP reaffirms that our National Leader is a true patriot. His investments in education and human development speak for themselves,” Karaye stated.
He also warned against the politicisation of security matters, stressing that national security issues should not be used for political ends.
“We caution against the politicisation of national security matters and call on all patriotic Nigerians to condemn such actions,” he added.
The party further appealed to the United States not to act on what it described as unverified claims.
“A country like the United States should refrain from taking action based on unverified accusations and mere political tactics,” Karaye said.
According to him, it is publicly known that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had previously sought Kwankwaso’s membership, but he declined due to differences in political ideology and party manifestos.
The NNPP insisted that the Presidency and the NSA must act swiftly to prevent what it called national embarrassment.
“We call on the Presidency and the Office of the NSA to immediately issue a statement exonerating our National Leader from these allegations,” the statement concluded.
