He described the report as fake news. According to him, he has no intention of leaving the PDP.
Kwankwaso, senator representing Kano central, was one of the 15 senators that defected from the APC to the PDP in July 2018.
The notice of defection was contained in a letter read by Senate President Bukola Saraki on the floor of the upper legislative chamber. The senators said they took their decision after “due consultation”.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Balaraba Ibrahim Stegert, a former senior special assistant to Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso on solid minerals, quit the PDP on Sunday, December 16.
At the height of political intrigues in Kano state, Balaraba, a strong associate of Kwankwaso, decamped to the APC.
After being retained as SA on solid minerals by the Umar Ganduje administration, Balaraba had resigned and reunited with erstwhile political godfather (Kwankwaso) in PDP.
