The New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) said on Monday its presidential flag bearer, Rabiu Kwankwaso, joined the 2023 presidential race with a focus on victory.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Dipo Olayoku, stated this in a statement in Abuja.
He urged Nigerians to disregard reports suggesting that Kwankwaso was in the presidential race to split votes in the North.
The spokesman described the reports as the handiwork of mischief-makers who want to cause disaffection within the party.
Olayoku said: “l want to state that nothing can be further from the truth than this. We in the national working committee consider these reports as the handiwork of fifth columnists, who have been trying to cause disaffection in the party and they will never succeed.
