Dr Rabiu Kwankwaso, presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, has stated that he will not stand aside for his Peoples Democratic Party opponent, Atiku Abubakar.
The NNPP’s spokesman, Major Agbo, who revealed this in an interview, disputed a story that northern leaders were pressuring Kwankwaso to stand down for Atiku.
According to him, Kwankwaso is in the race to win, and he believes he will be the country’s next president.
However, the NNPP spokesperson did not rule out the potential of coalition talks, which he stated would take place on its conditions.
When asked for an update on the supposed conversations of alliance between his party and the Labour Party’s presidential campaign council, Agbo denied the story.
Also, the National Chairman of the NNPP, Rufai Alkali, agreed with Agbo when he called the allegation false.
Alkali, a political science professor, said the report was the work of those out to deceive Nigerians in order to win cheap political points.
