In a carefully worded statement issued to clarify his political position, Kwankwaso emphasized that he has neither formally declared his intention to contest for the presidency nor thrown his weight behind any aspirant or political bloc.
He described the circulating reports and interpretations as premature, misleading, and not reflective of his current stance.
The former minister urged party members, supporters, and the general public to disregard any claims suggesting otherwise, stressing that any major political decision regarding his future ambitions would be communicated directly by him through appropriate and official channels.
Kwankwaso further noted that his immediate focus remains on strengthening the NNPP, consolidating its structures nationwide, and contributing meaningfully to national discourse on governance and development.
He reiterated his commitment to issue-based politics and cautioned against distractions that could derail the party’s long-term objectives.
While acknowledging the heightened political activities and alignments ahead of the 2027 elections, Kwankwaso maintained that it is still early in the electoral cycle for definitive declarations or endorsements.
He called on political actors to prioritize nation-building, unity, and constructive engagement over speculation and political maneuvering.
The NNPP chieftain concluded by reaffirming his dedication to democratic principles and responsible leadership, assuring supporters that he will make his position known at the appropriate time, guided by national interest and broad consultations.
