The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP has taken a swipe at the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over his comment that he was in talks of a planned step down with the NNPP Presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso.

Addressing Journalists yesterday in Abuja, the NNPP National Chairman, Professor Rufai Ahmed Alkali urged Atiku Abubakar to respect his age, however, said that the party was not in talks with him over a possible alliance.

Alkali who called on Atiku to step down for Kwankwaso since he is young with a fresh idea, said that their members are worried over Atiku’s statement insisting that they are not in alliance talk with the PDP.
The NNPP National Chairman said, “Our members have been worried because we have huge crowds in the South and in the North. Our presidential candidate is campaigning. Our gubernatorial candidates, Senatorial candidates, House of Representatives candidates and the State House of Assembly candidates have been campaigning.

“Since we came up with this mantra for a new Nigeria, we’ve not been engaged in unnecessary controversy. As a responsible party, we have been taken for granted.
We are not in talk with Atiku.

He should know that there are other people who have the right to be president and Kwankwaso has done a lot for Nigerians and Nigeria. Kwankwaso is a forerunner in the contest.

“The idea of the northern agenda is not true. The election of 2023 is different. Some leaders whose agenda is to work for some candidate, want a northern candidate. We kept quiet when Atiku said he was the Northern candidate. They talk about a government of national unity. Nobody is talking about that when it is convenient but we have no talk with Atiku and we are not planning an alliance with Atiku. He should respect his age and he can’t force anyone to endorse him.”

According to Alkali, “We are following the INEC guidelines and the electoral act.

“We produce agents in all the polling units. Most of these parties making noise today don’t have agents. The PDP of yesterday is not the PDP of today. Is not the party of Abubakar Rimi, Sunday Awoniyi, Sule Lamido, Solomon Lar and the rest.

“Five governors are not with Atiku. These governors are coming from powerful states. The two others have been sending messages that they will not support Atiku.

“We thought that anyone contesting an election should put his house together. We left the PDP because we knew it would implode. It is not the same party as yesterday. In the next one week, some will leave the PDP.

Atiku thinks propaganda can win him this election. Lol! If 200,000 members of APC are not defecting to PDP in Bauchi, 700,000 members of NNPP would be defecting to PDP in Jigawa. But las las he would fail.

Honestly, if Buhari used to get 10m votes in the northwest and northeast, the numbers might have reduced to 7m for Tinubu. Atiku and Kwankwaso would share the remaining 3m. The good thing is that Atiku wouldn't get the votes PDP used to get in the southeast and South South courtesy Obi's candidacy. Wike is also doing the damages here!

With the situation on ground Tinubu would win this election. The cabal are just trying to frustrate him but he would come out unhurt and victorious.

Kwankwaso is a foolish person sha, you met with Obi you said you're older he should step down, now you're saying you're younger than Atiku so he should step down. Everyone should step down for only you cause of your age and PhD, foolish reasons! We know they're both in talks and soon Kwankwaso will step down. Very unserious and unstable person he is!

I just want to really read his reasons for stepping down.

LocalStandard1:


Daydreamer! So in your mind you believe "Tinubu is getting 7m votes in The North, while Atiku and Kwankwaso are sharing the remaining 3m"?!

Na so unna dey do unna permutations for Iragbiji? Tinubu will struggle to get that number in the entire Nigeria my clueless friend.

donphilopus:

You're daft. Saying Tinubu would get 7m votes while Atiku and Kwankwaso share the remaining 3m doesn't mean they wouldn't have more than that. Atiku might have 2.5m voters standby for him before now added to the 1.5m he would get from Buhari would give him 4m votes. That's not enough to make him win. He's not winning the south this time around.
BTW, are you for Atiku or Obi or you're confused?

LocalStandard1:


I laugh your complete ignorance bro, really, you're very ignorant. Or are you being sarcastic here?

"Tinubu 7m votes in the North and 2.5+1.5= 4m votes in the North for Atiku"! Who will give Tinubu those votes?

I want you to write this down, Peter Obi will get more Northern votes than Tinubu by far. Peter Obi already has MB votes and he's adding the core Northern votes and it will shock you. After Atiku in the North it's Peter Obi not even Kwankwaso.

Write this down my man!

For your info, unlike you who's somewhere around Iragbiji, I am from the North born and raised. So don't argue this one, just allow it sink in now before it's too late.

Zelenskyy:
Even Kwankwaso is not aware that his supporters are in touch with Atiku Abubakar and will betray him very soon
