Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, has hit out at political icons endorsing some Presidential Aspirants as regards the forthcoming 2023 General Elections.
Kwankwaso spoke on Wednesday, January 04, 2022, when he visited Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State at the government house in Benin.
The former Kano State Governor said: “Some of the people… we have seen it on the news that they are supporting Mr A or Mr B, I think it is a big mistake. These are leaders I respect. There is a time in your life when you become real statesman, not a politician.
“I can tell you also that any candidate or party that comes out with the face of ethnicity or the issue of religion, that party, that candidate, I can assure, at the national level, has failed that election before it starts.
“And I want to advise our leaders: they should stop disgracing themselves. We have so much respect for them.
“If I become that old and at that level, I won’t come and play party politics, especially the one that has to do with religion. This endorsement has to do with ethnicity, religion and I think some people should grow beyond that.” Kwankwaso concluded.
Recall that former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Chief Edwin Clark recently threw their weights behind the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
