The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has warned the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, against choosing Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso as running mate, alleging that the former NNPP presidential candidate could eventually turn against them.
The NNPP said Kwankwaso’s political differences with the party after contesting the 2023 presidential election on its platform should serve as a warning to the NDC.
The party’s National Secretary-General, Ogini Olaposi, stated this in a statement on Monday, describing Obi’s choice of Kwankwaso as running mate as a “gross mistake.”
Olaposi said the NDC should have considered Kwankwaso’s political history before settling for him as Obi’s running mate.
