The national leadership of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has asked the new national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to leave its presidential candidate in the February 25 poll, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso alone.

Ganduje had a few days ago asked Kwankwaso to return to the APC now that he (Ganduje) is the national chairman.

Recall that Ganduje was deputy governor when Kwankwaso was the governor of Kano State. Their feud deepened when Ganduje later became governor and barred Kwankwaso from entering Kano.
