The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has debunked claims that its presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso was considering withdrawing for his counterpart from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, ahead of the 2023 election.
In a statement he released on Thursday, Agbo Major, the NNPP‘s national publicity secretary, refuted accusations that the party was not considering an alliance with the PDP in advance of the 2023 presidential race.
He declared that in order for NNPP to consider forming an alliance, the political party must be willing to cooperate with it in order to win the 2023 presidential election.
Major reaffirmed Kwankwaso’s commitment to running for president in 2023.
The statement read, “Kwankwaso is determined to go all the way due to his passion to serve Nigerians.
“As a mass movement, NNPP welcomes electoral alliances from like-minded political parties in our quest to rescue our great country but insists that any such arrangement must be the one that would see them joining us to deliver our presidential candidate Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso FNSE and never the other way round.
“The report is a figment of the imagination of those who engineered it.”
