2023: NNPP Presidential Candidate debunks stepping-down speculations
The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso, has debunked speculations he would step down for a candidate in one of the other parties in the 2023 elections.
Sen. Kwankwaso’s campaign spokesperson, Mr. Ladipo Johnson, confirmed these speculations as negative in a statement made available to journalists in Lagos on Sunday,
Johnson stated that there had been speculation that the former Kano State Governor would step down for either the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, or the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu. However, he confirmed that “the NNPP candidate said he is in the 2023 Presidential contest to win.”
According to him, Kwankwaso has all it takes to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2023 presidential election.
He said, “I do not know how people come up with these assertions and speculations. Kwankwaso cannot and will not step down for any candidate.
“Kwankwaso is not in the race to negotiate. He has the capacity, track record for competence, and the political will to lead Nigeria to greater heights.”
He said that the NNPP as a party has a clear vision of its intentions for Nigerians and would not be dragged into unnecessary criticisms but would aim to convince Nigerians of the fresh ideas it would bring on board if elected.
