The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has refuted assertions made by Buba Galadima, Secretary of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT), that the party is pushing for a coalition with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in advance of the elections in 2023.
According to a statement by the NNPP’s national publicity secretary, Agbo Major, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso is running for president of the country not to trade places with other candidates but to win the election.
The statement added that Senator Kwankwaso’s goal was to “provide purposeful leadership in line with our party programmes and manifesto. He is determined to go all the way due to his passion to serve Nigerians.”
While describing the reports as “a figment of the imagination of those who engineered it”, it further said that the opposition party sees it as the antics of mischief makers and propagandists due to “the towering profile of our candidate after the series of town hall meetings held so far.”
“As a mass movement, NNPP welcomes electoral alliances from like minded political parties in our quest to rescue our great country but insist 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,” it stressed
