The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), weekend, debunked reports that its presidential candidate, Alh Rabiu Kwankwaso, has agreed to become the running mate of Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi.
Agbo Major, NNPP publicity secretary, clarified this in a release.
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 Mr 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 the diaspora, and urges journalists to crosscheck their reports before publishing them to avoid national disaffection ahead of the crucial 2023 general election.
“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.”
