The Organising Secretary of the Kano Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, Suraju Kwankwaso,  on Tuesday dismissed as baseless and unfounded, claims that Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso had defected to the Peoples Democratic Party.

The secretary told our correspondent in a telephone chat on Tuesday that Senator Kwankwaso had been an authentic member of the party, stressing that he had no plan to defect to another political party.

He said an emergency meeting was in progress to react to the rumours doing the round that Kwankwaso had defected to another party.

“As I speak to you, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has been and still an authentic member of the All Progressives Congress.’’

He said the APC national headquarters in Abuja recognise Kwankwaso, as an authentic APC leader in Kano.

He argued that if Kwankwaso had plan  to defect to another party, he would, as he did when he defected to the APC, make it known  to members of the public by addressing a press conference.
