Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has been urged to work with the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi.
Deji Adeyanju, an Abuja-based activist lawyer, said Kwankwaso should collapse his structure and work with Obi.
He said Kwankwaso should team up with Obi because the former Anambra State Governor has a national appeal.
In a Facebook post, the rights activist noted that Kwankwaso only has local support, unlike the LP presidential candidate.
Adeyanju claimed both Obi and Kwankwaso would make a good President and Vice President.
“Kwankwaso should collapse his structure to work with Peter Obi. Obi is popular all over the country. Kwankwaso’s influence is only in Kano. They will both make a good President and Vice,” Adeyanju wrote.
Obi recently resigned from the PDP before defecting to LP, DAILY POST reports.
NNPP Presidential Aspirant Withdraws, Backs Kwankwaso
A presidential aspirant on the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) platform, Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyin, has withdrawn from the race.
Speaking at an event in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, yesterday, Oguntoyin, an entrepreneur, said he withdrew from the race to support the presidential ambition of former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso.
“I, Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, having considered many things, and in the interest of our great party and beloved country, today, relinquish my presidential ambition to support the presidential candidacy of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
“I pledge my loyalty to the course of serving our party and country first as a presidential running mate and eventually vice president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he said.
