The New Nigerian People’s Party NNPP on Friday , disclosed that plans are afoot to unveil the running mate of Rabiu Kwankwaso , presidential aspirant of the party.
Chairman of the party, Dr Boniface Aniebonam disclosed this at a press briefing held in Lagos.
Aniebonam said with the ongoing consultation between National Working Committee NWC and top members of the party , there are indications that the Vice Presidential candidate could emerge from the South East.
The Chairman, maintained that Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi combination would have been a perfect match against the other two notable political parties in Nigeria but maintained that all hope is not lost despite the decision of the former Governor of Anambra State to join Labour Party.
The party’s spiritual leader further called on Nigerians to think about the betterment of the country by voting NNPP adding that
the unity of the country depends fundamentally on the emergence of Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as the next president federal republic of Nigeria in the forthcoming general election.
While speaking on the overview of the state of affairs of the country, Dr. Aniebonam who doubles as the founder , National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF) highlighted disunity as one of the foremost impediment confronting the Nigeria project and her slow pace of development.
According to him, the various regional agitations and the subsequent kidnapping, banditry and terrorism that followed was as a result of misunderstanding from the diverse ethnic nationalities and injustice as perceived by these regional agitators.
The NAGAFF founder assured Nigerians that the mandate of the former minister of Defence Dr. Kwankwaso would be centered on unifying the various ethnic nationalities and set the nation on the path of production as against consumption that has hindered the trajectory of Nigeria’s movement.
“Kwankwaso when elected, will bring the diverse ethnic group of Nigerians together for a round table discussion and proffer solutions that will be widely accepted by all so that the country will move on” he said.
He maintained that the party is not an opposition to the leading APC or PDP rather to find a way on how the country can be great again.
