The state Chairman in Ogun State, Olaposi Oginni said this at a press briefing held in Abeokuta on Wednesday.
Kwankwaso had last week held a meeting with Tinubu at the State House, Abuja after he was rumoured to have met with the president earlier in Paris, France over an alleged planned ministerial slot in the new government.
Ogini while addressing newsmen said the former Kano Governor did not commit any anti-party offence with the meeting.
He said political parties must always forge a common front to move the nation forward after elections have been won and lost.
He said “This is not what anyone can call an anti-party. After an election, there’s a way all political parties come together and make sure there’s a way forward,” he said.
He also said that the NNPP in the state had equally withdrawn a petition filed against Abiodun at the tribunal in line with Kwankwaso’s steps after the election.
He however, expressed worry that some members of the party’s National Working Committee in connivance with a group in the state have been plotting to appeal the tribunal’s ruling which dismissed the case.
He urged Kwankwaso to call them in order to avoid creating a bigger crisis in the party.
He said “I want to use this opportunity to call on Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to call on these people that are working in contrast to his belief and what he’s doing with Asiwaju (Tinubu) in Ogun state.
“We have withdrawn our petition against Abiodun’s victory before the Tribunal, but when Senator Kwankwaso is going to Paris to meet Tinubu, going to villa, some people at the National working committee of the party are struggling that the petition withdrawn from the tribunal should not stand.
“I say this is going to become a double jeopardy for these people working in contrast with the leadership of the party, especially Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.”
Speaking on his recent alleged arrest for money laundering, Ogini denied the report that he was arrested by the Police.
He said he only honoured the Police invitation at the headquarters in Abuja, saying, he was never arrested for money laundering.
He said, “I was not arrested, I was invited, I am here at NNPP’s secretariat in Abeokuta, I am not a terrorist, I’m not a 419 like some of them that are doing money laundering.
“They think they can use the Nigerian police to harass and intimidate me, I want to give kudos to the Nigerian police, they invited me and did a professional job.”
