NNPP Too Small For Me, Kwankwaso Never Reached Out While I Was In Prison,’ Says Faruk Lawan, Ex-Lawmaker Pardoned By Tinubu.
Lawan explained that his decision stems from a desire to operate on a broader, national scale, rather than remaining tied to a party he considers limited in reach.
Former Nigerian House of Representatives member Faruk Lawan has alleged that Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), never reached out to show concern during his time in prison.
He added that even a year after regaining his freedom, the former governor has not contacted him.
Lawan, who was pardoned by President Bola Tinubu on October 9, 2025, for corruption offences he was convicted of, said that while there is still mutual respect between him and Kwankwaso, he no longer aligns politically with the Kwankwasiyya movement.
“Now a whole year has passed, and he hasn’t called to wish me well, to say ‘May God bring you out of this place’ or to pray for me,” Lawan said, revealing what he described as a lack of support from some of his former political allies.
He said this in an interview with BBC Hausa, further emphasising that the relationship, while respectful, is no longer political.
