Demola Olarenwaju, Senior Political Assistant to former VicePresident Atiku Abubakar, on Saturday, said that former New Nigeria PeoplesParty (NNPP) presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, cannot be “flirting withthe opposition by day” and “romancing President Bola Tinubu by night.” Olarenwaju said Kwankwaso and others like him should toe thepath of Atiku, former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai; former Minister ofTransportation, Rotimi Amaechi, and former Minister of Interior, RaufAregbesola, who formed the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Posting on X, Olarenwaju said Kwankwaso should have nurturedthe NNPP the way Aminu Kano did with the PRP. He wrote: “The likes of Kwankwaso and other tiptoeing‘opposition’ leaders must show courage and make up their minds like Atiku,El-Rufai, Amaechi, Aregbesola, Obi, etc., did to form the ADC coalition. “Flirting with the opposition by day and seducing Tinubu atnight na why Fayose dey write exposé. “Kwankwaso could have nurtured NNPP from Kano State as hisSecond Republic mentor, Aminu Kano, did with PRP, even after Balarabe Musa wasimpeached and Abubakar Rimi resigned and defected to NPP.” Olarenwaju also noted that Kwankwaso opened the door forKano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, to defect from the NNPP to the AllProgressives Congress (APC). “By negotiating with the APC at all, RMK opened the door forAbba Yusuf to join the APC. “Anybody still going to Aso Rock to hold discussions withTinubu at this point is only looking out for themselves and not the Nigerianpeople,” he added.
