The Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (RMK) Presidential Campaign Organisation has described as ‘fake report’ that Sen. Kwankwaso, who is the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) for the 2023 general elections has endorsed Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In a release issued by an aide to Engr. Kwankwaso, Muyi Fatosa, he denied the rumour making the round that his principal has backed down from the race.
The release read thus, “RMK Presidential Campaign Organisation wishes to state clearly that Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is still fully in the presidential race and that he is not distracted by the misleading report that he has declared support for Tinubu.
“Kwankwanso has continued to enjoy widespread support from vast majority of Nigerians.

“For the records and avoidance of doubt, in the interview with Dr. Reuben Abati of Arise TV where Dr. Reuben Abati asked Sen. Kwankwanso of his opinion about Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
“Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso stated clearly in his response that ‘Bola Tinubu is my friend of many years, if I had not contested, I would have recommended him. I do not play politics of bitterness. We are both in the presidential race but I am a better candidate.’
The release said it was unfortunate to see many people taking Kwankwaso statement on Tinubu as an endorsement of the APC presidential candidate and promoting such misconstrued message on the media.
“The Campaign Organisation strongly described as untrue the report that HE, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has in any way endorsed Bola Tinubu and urged the general public to always verify the authenticity of whatever they see on the media.
The Organisation also encouraged stakeholders, party members, fans and supporters of Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to disregard the fake report making waves on the social media platforms and continue to support the right man for the job, Sen. Kwankwanso, in every way possible.
“Our consultations across all the states of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory continues, and so far, the feedback has been positive.
“Once again, we want to assure Nigerians and the teeming supporters of HE, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, at home and in diaspora, that Sen. Kwankwanso is still the candidate to beat in the 2023 presidential election.”
