Four candidates contesting in the 2023 general election under the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Osun State have dumped the party to support Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The candidates, Clement Bamigbola, Osun Central Senatorial candidate; Bolaji Akinyode, Osun West Senatorial zone; Olalekan Fabayo and Oluwaseyi Ajayi of Boluwaduro/Ifedayo/Ila, and Ijesa South Federal Constituencies respectively, on Wednesday attributed their decision to dump the NNPP presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, for Tinubu to lack of transparency in the running of their party at the national level.
Addressing the newsmen in Osogbo on behalf of other candidates, Bamigbola explained why they they took that step.
“In view of the prevailing circumstances within our party and after due consultation and approval of our supporters, we wish to announce and declare our support and endorsement to the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
“This is as a result of our dissatisfaction with the leadership of the party at the National level, coupled with the inability of the party stakeholders to work in accordance with the principle of justice, law and undemocratic running of the party” he declared.
He further stated that good governance and dividends of democracy would be guaranteed for Nigerians when they vote Tinubu as president come 2023.
