The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has called on Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to disqualify the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2023 election.
The Kaduna State Chairman of the NNPP, Sani Litti, made the call while addressing newsmen on Monday.
He asked INEC disqualify TInubu and Atiku on the grounds of alleged financial crimes during their respective presidential primaries.
Litti called for the arrest of Tinubu and Atiku by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to him, “We call on INEC to disqualify Atiku Abubakar and Bola Ahmed Tinubu from contesting the presidential election in 2023 and also for the EFCC, the Police, and DSS to arrest them and all other actors who participated in the convention.
“We believe that should any one of these two wins the election next year, the country will slide into deeper corruption and financial crimes because the process which produced them is rooted in corruption.”
