2023 Presidency: Pick VP from South West, NNPP urges Kwankwanso

The Chairmen of the six South Western chapters of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has called on the party’s Presidential candidate, Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso to pick his running mate from the Southwest.

The party leaders in the Southwest said the region deserves the slot due to the avalanche of tested and trusted politicians, technocrats etc, who have the experience to help in providing purposeful governance needed by Nigerians at this period of time.

In a statement, Sunday, Dada Olayinka, on behalf of NNPP’s South West State Chairmen, said, the Vice Presidential slot should be given to the Southwest geopolitical region.

 “Going forward, we humbly appeal to our Presidential flagbearer Engr. Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso to consider the choice of his Vice Presidential candidate from the South West geopolitical region.

“With his pedigree as a trusted administrator with unblemished record in public service, making a choice of a youthful running mate with antecedents as his requires wisdom, balancing and sagacity.

“We shall be grateful if our region is given due consideration in this regard. We are assured of massive support for his emergence at the February 2023 election from the South West region” Olayinka stated.

The group congratulated Kwankwaso on his emergence as NNPP’s presidential flagbearer for the 2023 general elections.

“As Chairmen in our respective states, we align our thoughts, hopes, aspirations and connect with the wide acceptability of Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso, our candidate in the 2023 Presidential election.

“We note with pride the resilience of our members who rose in unison and took a clear departure from the dollarisation of leadership involvement processes witnessed in the conduct of party primaries by the PDP and the ruling party the All Progressives Congress.
