Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has debunked claims that he had stepped down from the 2023 race.
The former Kano State governor also denied that he plans to form an alliance with the presidential candidates of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress (APC) describing those spreading the rumour as ‘insulting’.
Kwankwaso, who addressed journalists in Maiduguri, Borno State, on Sunday said, “Some people are terribly mischievous and I don’t see how any of these four political parties at this critical time will accept joining one another.
“Some elements are making mischievous postings and insults on social media, but we believe in sportsmanship, and we are out for a good campaign.
“To say NNPP will join or withdraw for APC or PDP is absolutely rubbish; it can’t happen.”
