The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has hinted at the possibility of backing the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Kwankwaso, who sources said is interested in using his platform to negotiate ahead of 2023, indicated at the weekend that he would be willing to back the APC candidate if he senses that he won’t become president in 2023.
Observers have pointed out that the former Kano governor’s NNPP doesn’t have enough national spread, and merger talks with Labour Party collapsed last month.
Kwankwaso, during an interview session on a television programme on Sunday, indicated that he was more inclined to work with the former Lagos governor.
Asked if he is threatened by Tinubu’s choice of Kashim Shettima as his running mate, the former Kano governor said he likes the combination, and would have recommended Tinubu if he wasn’t running, but said he does not know what they would do differently from the current administration.
