Oginni accused Kwankwaso of using the NNPP to propagate this Kwankwasia movement.

According to New Telegraph, he alleged that the former Kano state governor was never interested in contesting for the presidential position but in using the NNPP platform to enrich himself.

“Accordingly, the National Executive Committee was dissolved and new officers were elected to run the party. We did this with a very clean mind, but unknown to us, Senator Kwankwaso just wanted to use our political party to propagate the Kwankwasia movement and equally use it for political gains.

Oginni added, “As events unfold, we realise that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso was not interested in the presidential election, but rather using the platform to enrich himself”.
