Barely a week after the presidential primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, one of its top presidential hopeful, Engr.Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has threatened to dump the party.

Kwankwaso, who was among 11 aspirants defeated by former Vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar at PDP special National Convention in Portharcourt is reportedly angry over attempts by the party leadership in Abuja to remove the names of some members of the Kwankwasiyya movement from the list of its aspirants.

The Kwankwasiyya movement is a socio-political association of all loyalists and supporters of the former Kano State Governor nationwide.

Daily Trust reports that the warning was issued by Mr.Kwankwaso during a meeting held at Legacy House, Abuja on Wednesday.

The meeting, which commenced at 3pm and ended around 5pm, was attended by many PDP stakeholders including Bello Hayatu Gwarzo and Ambassador Aminu Wali among others.

Suanu's Blog recalls that two factions of the PDP in Kano State led by Kwankwaso and Doguwa had conducted their separate primaries with different candidates emerging. The meeting was therefore an attempt by the Prince Uche Secondus-led National Working Committee (NWC) to review the list of aspirants from Kano State and ensure a win-win situation. However, Senator Kwankwaso is insisting that any attempt to remove any of his loyalists from the list of PDP candidates will leave him with no other choice than to dump the PDP.

“Kwankwaso told the gathering that any move to remove any member of Kwankwasiyya from the aspirants list will lead to his defection from PDP.
“However, the Doguwa-led faction also threatened to dump the party if the leadership failed to review the list of aspirants", a source said.

At last, the meeting reportedly ended in a deadlock as neither Kwankwaso nor Doguwa faction agreed to accept the terms offered by the leadership of the party.

The source added that the leadership of the party in its effort to reconcile the aggrieved members, resolved that the national and state assemblies slots be shared 50-50 between the Kwankwaso and Doguwa factions of the party, this was however rejected by Mr.Kwankwaso.
