Mr. Ladipo Johnson, the spokesperson of the Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso Presidential Campaign Organisation, has debunked speculative reports that the candidate might step down for either Atiku Abubakar or Bola Tinubu ahead the 2023 general elections.
According to him: “Kwankwaso is in the race to win.”
“I do not know how and why people come up with these assertions and speculations? Kwankwaso cannot and will not step down for anyone.”
In the words of Ladipo, Kwankwaso would contest the 2023 presidential election to the end as he joined the race of his convictions that he would make the desired change in Nigeria.
“Kwankwaso is not in the race to negotiate. He has the capacity, track record for competence and the political will to lead Nigeria. Our candidate has no reason to step down. His path to victory and chances are very high. Competitive yes, but his chances are very high, considering his acceptance nationwide as a man of integrity.”
The NNPP spokesperson noted that the party is set for the campaigns and would traverse the whole country to convince Nigerians and to explain the reasons why they should support the NNPP candidate.
Ladipo equally added that it was time for Nigerians to take what they read on social media with a pinch of salt, stating that as campaigns drew nearer, a lot of lies would be unleashed to confuse Nigerians.
“I advice we check all information and be sure its truth before believing them. There will be a lot of campaign of calumny against politicians that are more acceptable to the people but we are ready to put such campaigners to shame,” he said.
