The New Nigeria Peoples Party NNPP says its 2023 presidential candidate, Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso, does not have its platform to contest against President Bola Tinubu and/or any other presidential candidate at the moment in 2027.
The NNPP National Chairman, Dr. Agbo Major, made this known in a statement on Saturday.
The News Agency of Nigeria NAN reports that Major was speaking on the backdrop of claims by Elder Buba Galadima that Kwankwaso will stay and run for presidency on the NNPP platform.
Galadima, who claimed that there is no evidence that Kwankwaso is joining the All Progressives Congress as speculated, said they would strategically stay in the NNPP until the whistle is blown for 2027 politics, urging Nigerians to support Kwankwaso to take over as president.
Agbo stated that the NNPP platform is closed to Kwankwaso and Galadima, who had long been expelled from its fold for anti-party activities.
