According to a report by The Sun on Sunday, June 14, 2026, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and the vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2027 general elections, has stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is currently experiencing a steady decline in its political strength and public support.
He made the remark while addressing political developments surrounding the ruling party, maintaining that its current condition reflects a gradual weakening rather than consolidation.
According to him, the trajectory of the APC suggests a loss of cohesion and internal confidence among its members, which he linked to broader dissatisfaction within the party’s structure.
Kwankwaso further stated that the situation within the APC has led to increasing frustration among its members.
He suggested that such dissatisfaction could influence political behaviour ahead of future elections, including actions that may not necessarily align with the party’s official direction.
Favor As Higher Power? (The hidden truth) Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
He also indicated that some members of the APC might not remain fully committed to the party’s electoral agenda.
In his assessment, internal disagreements and disillusionment could lead certain individuals to indirectly support opposition parties while still remaining within the ruling party’s ranks.
The comments were made during an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, where he discussed his political journey and broader election-related questions.
The interview provided a platform for him to reflect on party dynamics, opposition politics, and his personal political decisions over recent election cycles.
Kwankwaso also referenced his past political involvement, including his decision to join the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
He explained that his entry into the party was based on a firm belief in its electoral prospects and capacity to compete effectively.
He noted that his participation in political contests has consistently been guided by conviction rather than experimentation or symbolic gestures.
When asked about his current political ambition and whether his candidacy was a strategic attempt to gauge political strength ahead of the election, he addressed the question directly in the interview.
He said: “Anyone who knows me knows that I do not play politics as a game. Even when I joined the NNPP, I did so because I genuinely believed we could win. Opponents claimed I was only trying to split votes. My response was simple: whose votes was I supposedly splitting? I entered the race because I believed in it.”
