The NNPP (New Nigeria Peoples Party) has stated that it will
only consider Atiku Abubakar’s merger proposition if he supports Rabiu
Kwankwaso to become Nigeria’s president in 2027.
The party stressed that teaming up with Kwankwaso is crucial
for Atiku to remain politically relevant in Nigeria.
The NNPP’s spokesperson, Yakubu Shendam, made this statement
in response to Atiku’s call for opposition political parties to merge.
Atiku had expressed concern about the APC’s perceived move
towards a one-party state and urged opposition parties to unite and challenge
the ruling party.
Shendam described Atiku’s call for a merger as a reactive
measure, stating, “This is like medicine after death.”
He added that any future collaboration should not be based
on emotions, and the NNPP believes that Kwankwaso has the capacity to lead
Nigeria in 2027.
The party encouraged Atiku to support Senator Rabiu
Kwankwaso, stating, “We are calling on Atiku as an elder brother to close ranks
with Kwankwaso if he wants to be relevant in 2027.”
“This is like medicine after death. If there is any future
collaboration, it should not be as a result of emotions. We are going all along
because we have a gladiator who has the capacity to take over Nigeria.
“We believe that there is a need to canvass for support from
people to win the election, from all sides. However, we believe that
single-handedly Kwankwaso can deliver Nigeria in 2027.
“But that doesn’t mean that we are not looking for players
like Atiku to join our party. If there is going to be a merger, it should be
with the NNPP, because Atiku is now retiring, so, he should support Senator
Rabiu Kwankwaso,” the statement added.
