The 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabi’u Kwankwaso, has announced that the party is open to forming an alliance with any political party or individual that aligns with its vision for a thriving Nigeria and dedication to the welfare of the populace.
Kwankwaso shared this information during an interview with BBC Hausa.
He emphasized that any merger or alliance should be based on mutual respect, clear advantages, and shared values, particularly focusing on the upliftment of the common citizen.
“We are open to collaboration with anyone, be it the APC, PDP, ADC, Jonathan, or Peter Obi. If we find their competence and integrity satisfactory, we will join forces to achieve success.
