NNPP Might MERGE With Labour Party - Kwankwaso
Category: Nigeria News
The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), might merge with Labour party.
The presidential candidate of the party, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso,
confirmed he is in talks with his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi.
Kwankwaso and Obi are exploring the possibility of cooperation in
the 2023 elections, in terms of a possible merger between NNPP and LP.
He
made the remarks in an interview with BBC Hausa.
Kwankwaso said:
“We are really talking to Peter Obi, or at least saying that the committee is
working to look into the matter (and cooperate with him), and friends and
family are coming to talk to us about it.”
He noted that their
collaboration was especially important as the All Progressives (APC) and
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had not fielded an Igbo vice-presidential
candidate.
On Friday, Obi named former presidential spokesman,
Doyin Okupe, as his running mate.
