According to the NNPP, Kwankwaso is far ahead of Ganduje politically, adding that he is busy building the NNPP and will not join the APC.

Speaking to journalists at the national headquarters of the NNPP, the national auditor of the party, Ladipo Johnson, said it would be diversionary for them to discuss the APC national chairman, as their focus is mainly on how to rebuild their party.

Ganduje, also a former governor of Kano State like Kwankwaso last week said he was never a political son of the NNPP presidential candidate in the recent election.

The statement was made in furtherance of the political difference between Kwankwaso and Ganduje.
