The New Nigeria Peoples Party, on Sunday, reacted to media reports (not The PUNCH) that its standard flagbearer, Rabiu Kwankwaso, could deputise the presidential flagbearer of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.

The party described the reports as “misleading and embarrassing.”

The PUNCH reports that there has been news about an alliance of the NNPP and the Labour party.

The presidential candidate of the NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso, in an interview with BBC Hausa, had said talks were ongoing to ensure a successful merger between his party and the Labour party. Though Kwankwaso did not suggest who would be the running mate between himself and Obi, he noted that the merger would be very crucial ahead of the 2023 general election.

But the NNPP in a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Dr Agbo Major, noted that the party got waves of media reports stating that Kwankwaso could deputise Obi.

“NNPP has never at any time said its esteemed presidential candidate, His Excellency, Dr. Rabiu kwankwaso, could accept to be the Labour Party, Peter Obi’s deputy. The report is misleading and embarrassing to our great party, its presidential candidate, Kwankwaso and millions of supporters in Nigeria and the diaspora, and urges journalists to crosscheck their reports before publishing them to avoid national disaffection ahead of the crucial 2023 general election.

“As a mass movement, the NNPP acknowledged alliance talks with Labour Party that would consolidate and boost the nation’s frail democracy as we collectively strive for a new Nigeria which the party champions.

“The Sunday Trust newspaper correctly stated in its report; “Asked to verify the proposed alliance, Major (Agbo) said talks were still ongoing and he wouldn’t want to speculate.” If the party ‘s National Publicity Secretary, Dr Agbo Major had said “talks were ongoing and he wouldn’t want to speculate,” how did the newspaper arrive at Kwankwaso can deputise Obi?

“The NNPP has high regard for journalists as the watchdog of the nation and major stakeholders in Nigeria’s democratic process and urges them to always crosscheck their reports before publishing them in tandem with the ethics of their profession. Together, we shall build a strong, virile, progressive and egalitarian democratic society.”

Some obi's supporters should stop this extremism.

In as much as we want the merge.....but they should stop creating unnecessary embassment with thier desperation.


I am for obi regardless

This is to shaken the mind of Obi supporters

But the key is to hold on

Have faith


If God mean well for Nigeria, now is the time he answer the prayer of Nigerians.

Give us Obi

Take back bat .

It is absolutely ridiculous, the height of delusion, for anyone to expect Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to deputize for Obi Pandora. Especially when northern heavyweights are defecting steadily to NNPP.

Stop that joke abeg

Gbam. I have said this on many occasions. If Kwankwaso wants a VP slot. He would have easily gotten it in APC/ PDP. How do you expect kwakwnso with over 2million electoral value to deputise Obi , who only won the Govship election in Anambra with less than 87k votes?

Kwankwaso to become Peter Obi running mate is nothing but, Future impossible tense

Meaning it can never happen.
I'm an obedient man anyways

You don suddenly change gear.
Kwankwaso will never deputise Obi. You can quote me anywhere.
Your Pandora thief has no electoral value.

We are hopeful not withstanding, Nigeria needs to be rescued

Obidient is the key

The Obi last Governship victory in Anambra was with less than 87k votes. How do you want Kwankwaso with over 2m electoral votes to deputise Obi?

Hopeful about what if I may ask?

The logical stance to it today is that Obi is gaining momentum more than Kwakwanso.

Politics is not about what you have been or the position you are currently in. But about an established fame.


Take for instance in the primary election of APC. Osinbajo is the VP of this nation, but is it not rather surprising how Pa Tinubu beat him?

It's simply because Tinubu has established a pure solid fame. So it's not about position after all.

Also, in 2019, when Peter Obi defected to PDP. We all know that there were many big weight in PDP then ......yet Atiku chosed a newly defected Obi.

So it's not all about position but your fame and what you can do.

In today's atmosphere.......Obi is bigger than Kwakwanso

Losers' Party of Propaganda

I will explain

Momentum on social media. Haven't You learned from the Ekiti election?
Even NNPP got more votes from the election

Afamed:
Coalition beggars.

Excellent name for the Ipobians.

Obituaries are well known for lying and spreading fake news.

The obidient ones need to stop living in fantasies and stop building castles in air. Kwankasiyya movement is bigger than the Pandora movement. Meanwhile na only one KANO OR KATSINA LG votes in favour of BAT will cripple u guys vote, know this and know peace. #TRUTHHURTS

Sniper price just got more expensive.

Why are people so obsessed with Peter Obi name. To start with, it was Kwankwaso that first talked about this merger via coalition stuff.

Let both Peter Obi and Kwankwaso contest separately let see who will have more votes.
Enough of all these merger stuff

I stand with Peter Obi.
Vote for LabourParty

Sergio101:

Well.......play along.

Sergio 101, you have abandoned Nnamdi Kanu & Biafra, & switched to Peter Obi for President of Zoo Nigeria in less than 1 month?

Calling you a betrayer hypocrite is an understatement, please don’t let your ipobian brother emergingnation3 catch people like you in the real world, ESN will teach you a serious lesson.

Ipobian Judas.
