The New Nigeria Peoples Party NNPP, has dismissed reports that its presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, will be the running mate to Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi.
A statement by National Publicity Secretary of the party,Agbo Major, said there was never a discussion or negotiation was held.
”NNPP has never at any time said its esteemed presidential candidate could accept to be Labour Party, Peter Obi’s deputy.
”The report is misleading and embarrassing to our great party, its presidential candidate 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 acknowledge 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 part champions” Mr Major said.
