APC Chieftain Warns Against Tinubu-Kwankwaso Unity Government  Abdulmajid Kwamanda, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano, has expressed his strong opposition to the reported meeting between President-Elect Bola Tinubu and Rabiu Kwankwaso, the candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the recently concluded elections in France, aimed at forming a unity government. Speaking at a press conference in Kano on Thursday, May 18, Kwamanda firmly stated that the entire APC in the north-west zone would not welcome Kwankwaso and would withdraw their support for Tinubu if he appoints Kwankwaso to any position within the party.  Kwamanda emphasized, "We in the north-west do not welcome Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to our party APC. We do not accept the idea of Bola Tinubu giving him any appointment even as low as a messenger in our dear party. Should Tinubu ignore our outcry and appoint Kwankwaso, we are going to disrupt the entire APC in the north and withdraw our support for him."  He further added, "If we set the party on fire, not even Tinubu as a president can put out that fire. We are north and the people are our people. We have invested all our efforts, integrity, and dignity in the North to mobilize the people to vote for Tinubu. They refused to vote for a fellow northerner just for him to win in the region, and now he comes and embraces our major opposition. We will not accept that."  Kwamanda made it clear that if Tinubu disregards their concerns and proceeds to appoint Kwankwaso, the consequences would be severe. "We assure Tinubu that we will turn our backs on him if he decides to ignore our call. We don't welcome Kwankwaso to our party and don't give him any appointments."  The statement from Abdulmajid Kwamanda highlights the growing tension and divisions within the APC regarding the possibility of a unity government involving Tinubu and Kwankwaso. It reveals the strong resistance from party members in the north-west region who feel that Kwankwaso's inclusion would undermine their efforts and betray their loyalty to the party.  The outcome of this situation remains uncertain, as it presents a significant challenge for Tinubu in balancing the interests and demands of different factions within the party. The response from other APC leaders and Tinubu himself will be closely watched to determine the direction this political development will take.

The statement from Abdulmajid Kwamanda highlights the growing tension and divisions within the APC regarding the possibility of a unity government involving Tinubu and Kwankwaso.

The outcome of this situation remains uncertain, as it presents a significant challenge for Tinubu in balancing the interests and demands of different factions within the party.
