APC Denied Grilling Kwankwaso

The All Progressive Congress APC has denied media report that the National Working Committee NWC grilled former Governor of Kano State Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

In a statement issued by the party and endorsed by National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi said Senator Kwankwaso actually visited the party secretariat, but it was a private to the National Chairman.

The statement reads;”The attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to reports in a section of the media which states that the NWC ‘grilled’ Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the former Governor of Kano State.

“In the said reports, the purported meeting with the NWC provided Senator Kwankwaso the opportunity to explain his point of view on the alleged crisis between him and the Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.

“We wish to state that, that the reports are not true. While it is correct that Senator Kwankwaso visited our Party’s National Secretariat in Abuja on Thursday, January 13, 2016, but this was a private visit to the National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun and not a meeting of the NWC. The NWC has not held any meeting this year and so the issue of ‘grilling’ Senator Kwankwaso does not arise.

The party noted that it is not unusual for party men and women to visit the National Chairman and indeed other officials of the NWC. “This should not be considered as a meeting of the NWC”.
