According to him, accepting to run as Obi’s vice presidential candidate will collapse the NNPP: a party he said he suffered to build in the last 30 years.

Kwankwaso made these known while speaking on Saturday in Gombe State were he noted that his political profile and wealth of experience after serving in various capacities had helped in bringing NNPP to limelight within a short time.

The former Kano State Governor insisted that Obi should rather deputize him.

He was quoted as saying: “I served for 17 years as a civil servant; we are talking of 47 years of very serious hard work that is what is really holding NNPP now.

“Accepting to run as Mr Obi’s vice presidential candidate will collapse the NNPP. The party is based on what we have built in the last 30 years.

“One issue raised during discussions for merger with the LP, was that most of the people from there believe that the presidency has to go there (South East), but presidency going to the South-East in 2023 must be done based on strategy, political calculation and equation.

“The South-East are good in business and are well talented but they should learn politics, “in politics they are at the bottom line.”
