The New Nigeria Peoples Party has reiterated that its presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, will not step aside for his All Progressives Congress counterpart, Bola Tinubu, or his Peoples Democratic Party counterpart, Atiku Abubakar.
The party’s National Campaign Secretary, Folasade Aliu, said on Tuesday during a live interview on Channels Television’s The 2023 Verdict that Kwankwaso is ready and focused on winning the presidency.
“We’re preparing for this, and we’re telling Nigerians one-on-one about our love for this country,” she explained.
“So, the issue of Kwankwaso is stepping down or merging with Tinubu or stepping down for Atiku is absolute nonsense. It’s not going to happen. It’s just the strategy of some mischievous people. As I speak with you, he is on the road, he is talking to people.

“We have gone to 600 plus local governments. Does that seem like somebody that is stepping down?” Aliu queried.
“We are not stepping down for anybody. NNPP is not merging with anybody. If you have something to offer Nigerians, let them know. If you don’t have, go home and sleep.”
Reports of a possible merger between the NNPP and the APC or PDP had surfaced but the NNPP had been consistent in dismissing the claims as untrue.
