The New Nigeria Peoples Party’s, (NNPP) presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has taken a swipe at Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, saying any party that can’t control Lagos, Kano, and Rivers states should forget about the 2023 presidential election.
Kwankwaso disclosed this on Monday at the commissioning of the Mgbutanwo Internal Roads in Emohua, Rivers State, at the invitation of Governor Nyesom Wike.
He also criticised some PDP leaders, describing them as rigid and selfish.
He said, “Any party that cannot control two of the three states – Kano, Lagos, and Rivers is out. He (Wike) has been saying it, and people have not taken note of it. Anyway, by now, with Kwankwaso out of that party and Wike struggling to be there or not to be there, somehow, things are moving, certainly, Lagos is not their own, and one begins to wonder how they will win the election of 2023.”
Recall that Wike and the other four PDP Governors are presently not supporting Atiku’s presidential ambition over their disposition to how some powerful people within the party are supporting Iyorchia Ayu to remain as National Chairman.
