The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, on Sunday debunked
reports that its presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso would run for the 2023
presidential election as a running mate of the Labour Party’s candidate, Peter
Obi.
National Publicity Secretary of NNPP, Dr Agbo Major, who
stated this in Abuja on Sunday, said contrary to reports, there was never a
time such a discussion or negotiation was held between Kwankwaso and Obi.
Agbo Major, however, admitted that there is an alliance talk
with the Labour Party on how to rescue the country’s democracy from failing
totally.
He said, “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.
“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.“
Report currently making the rounds on social media indicates
that Kwankwaso, a former Governor of Kano State may emerge as Obi’s running
mate.
But the NNPP spokesman described the report as fake,
misleading, and embarrassing to the party and its supporters across the
country.
“The report is misleading and embarrassing to our great
party, its Presidential candidate, Kwankwaso, and millions of supporters in
Nigeria and in the diaspora, and urges journalists to crosscheck their reports
before publishing them to avoid national disaffection ahead of the crucial 2023
general election”, he added.
