Kwankwaso not stepping down for another presidential candidate
New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) presidential candidate Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso has refuted speculation he will stand down for another party's candidate ahead of the 2023 election.
The DAILY POST reports that there has been an assumption that former Kano state governor would step down in favour of either People's Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Atiku Abubakar or All Progressive Congress (APC) standard-bearer Bola Tinubu.
But through his campaign spokesman, Mr Ladipo Johnson, the NNPP candidate said he was bidding to win.
In a statement made available to journalists in Lagos on Sunday, Johnson said: "Kwankwaso is in the race for victory."
In his opinion, Kwankwaso has all the qualifications to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2023 presidential election.
He said, “I do not know how people come up with these assertions and speculations. Kwankwaso cannot and will not step down for any candidate.
“Kwankwaso is not in the race to negotiate. He has the capacity, the track record of competence and the political will to take Nigeria to greater heights.â€
