They were at peak of the media hype and we couldn’t reach a compromise – Kwankwaso speaks on why he refused to merge with Peter Obi’s Labour Party
Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria’s People’s party, NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso has spoken on the intended merger with Labour Party.
Speaking at the Chatham House in London on Wednesday, Kwankwaso claimed they couldn’t reach a compromise because LP was at the peak of the media hype.
He said: “On Labour Party, I was initially interested in working with them.
“But at that time, they were at peak of the media hype and we couldn’t reach a compromise. Our party (NNPP) is a national party, and we’re commanding the support of the masses.
”Kwankwaso added: “If you have a party which is based on ethnicity and religion, that is the difference between the Labour party and our party, which is a national party, New Nigeria Peoples Party.”
that remains to be seen…….
