‘Stop Disgracing Yourselves’- Kwankwaso Tells Statesmen Endorsing Candidates For 2023 Election

The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso has criticized elder statesmen supporting and endorsing their preferred candidates for the 2023 presidential elections, IGBERETV reports.

It could be recalled that few days ago, Peter Obi was endorsed by Obasanjo and leader of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Edwin Clark.

Kwankwaso says it is wrong for any person who is considered a statesman to go about endorsing candidates ahead of the February 25 presidential election in Nigeria.

“I want to advise our leaders: they should stop disgracing themselves. We have so much respect for them. If you say you don’t like me, no problem,” the former Kano State governor said on Wednesday, January 4 in Benin City, Edo State .

However, Kwankwaso insisted that these endorsements were based on religious and ethnic sentiments and have no effect on the electorate, who, according to him, are a lot wiser now.

Kwankwaso was hosted by Governor Godwin Obaseki at the Government House ahead of his presidential campaign flag off in the state.

Kwankwaso said, “Some of the people supporting and endorsing Mr A or Mr B, I think it is a big mistake. These are leaders I respect. There is a time in your life when you become real statesman, not a politician.

“I can tell you also that any candidate or party that comes out with the face of ethnicity or the issue of religion, that party, that candidate, I can assure you, has failed that election before it starts.”

Pain belongs to Thifnubu Urchins.

If OBJ had endorsed them they would have sang his praises. Hypocrites.
