The 2023 Presidential Candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, on Saturday lamented that if he accepts to be running mate to Labour Party’s, LP, Peter Obi in the 2023 Presidential election, his NNPP may collapse, .
Kwankwaso revealed this in an interview with Newsmen, in Gombe State, where he was to inaugurate the State office of the NNPP, and meet with elected members of the party.
His exact words: “From the discussion with the Labour Party, the main issue was who becomes the President, if the parties merge.
“At the end of the day, some of our Representatives thought that there should be a criterion in terms of age, qualification, Offices held, performance and so on.
“Of course, the other side would not want that. Most of the people from there believe that the President has to go there (the South-East).
“If I now decide to be the Vice Presidential Candidate to anybody in this country, NNPP will collapse, because the party is based on what we have built in the last 30 years.
“I served for 17 years as a Civil Servant; we are talking of 47 years of very serious hard work that is what is rarely holding NNPP now.”
