Abdulmumin Jibrin, a member of the House of Representatives representing Kiru and Bebeji Federal Constituency, revealed the New Nigerian Peoples Party’s (NNPP) readiness to form alliances with various political parties, including the All Progressives Congress (APC).

During a gathering of over 1,000 Islamic clerics offering prayers for the success of Kano State Governor Kabir Yusuf at the Supreme Court, Jibrin emphasized NNPP’s willingness for collaboration, alliance, or merger with the APC, PDP, LP, or any party for the betterment of Nigerians.

Jibrin pledged to leverage his political connections to engage key figures in Kano’s politics, aiming to resolve existing tensions surrounding the state’s governorship seat.

In a statement released by his media aide, Sani Paki, special prayers were extended to President Bola Tinubu and the NNPP National Leader, Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso during the event.
