The new Nigeria Peoples Party has come out to say that its Presidential Candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, will not contest the 2023 Presidential election as Peter Obi’s running mate.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Dr Agbo on Sunday said there was never a time NNPP, declared Kwakwanso as Obi’s running mate.
According to him, “NNPP has never at any time said its esteemed Presidential Candidate, His Excellency, Engr. Dr. Rabiu Musa kwankwaso could accept to be Labour Party, Peter Obi’s deputy.
The report is misleading and embarrassing to our great party, its Presidential Candidate, Kwankwaso and millions of supporters in Nigeria and in diaspora.
As a mass movement, NNPP acknowledged alliance talks with Labour Party that would consolidate and boost the nation’s frail democracy as we collectively strive for a new Nigeria which the party champions.”
While stating his high regard for journalists, he also urged them to always crosscheck their reports before broadcasting them as it is the ethics of their profession.
According to him, together the media and NNPP “shall build a strong, virile, progressive and egalitarian democratic society.”
