Not many Nigerians knew there was a political party called New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) until 2022 when former Kano State Governor and Senator, Musa Kwankwaso defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, into the party.
Kwankwaso collapsed his structure called the Kwankwasiya into the NNPP and immediately emerged as the Presidential candidate of the party for the 2023 presidential election, and the party was immediately reckoned as one of the top challengers to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
