The national leadership of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), yesterday,told the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, that its presidential candidate in the February 25 election, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, was not his mate by all standards, especially when it comes to politics.

Addressing the press, NNPP National Auditor, Ladipo Johnson, who berated the APC members for making a character like Ganduje their national chairman, said the party would not entertain questions relating to comments from Ganduje on their presidential candidate.

Johnson said the focus of the party was to rebuild it and this would entail the discipline of members.

Also speaking at the press conference, the NNPP National Chairman, Abba Kawu Ali, said he was surprised that the APC could settle for a man like Ganduje despite his various controversies and that there was no basis to compare Ganduje to Kwankwaso because the latter was miles ahead and better than the former.

“The party performed very well in the 2023 general election given the fact that from its formation to the election proper was less than one year. Apart from winning seats in both the  national and state assemblies, the party also won the governorship election in Kano State,” he said.

He added that the party was the third party in the National Assembly after the APC and the PDP and the NWC meeting was called to take a stock of its achievements and where it is supposed to be in the next coming years.
