To say NNPP will join or withdraw for APC or PDP is absolutely rubbish – Kwankwaso

Presidential Candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso has dismissed claims that he will step down from the 2023 race.

There have been rumors that the former Kano Governor has plans of forming a merger with presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, and Bola Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress, APC.

Speaking with journalists in Maiduguri, Borno State, on Sunday, Kwankwaso noted that the report was rubbish adding that those making such claims are mischievous.

He said: “Some people are terribly mischievous and I don’t see how any of these four political parties at this critical time will accept joining one another.

“Some elements are making mischievous postings and insults on social media, but we believe in sportsmanship, and we are out for a good campaign.

“To say NNPP will join or withdraw for APC or PDP is absolutely rubbish; it can’t happen.”
