Tuesday, July 1, 2025 - The spokesman for the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Ladipo Johnson, has said that it would not be insulting if President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) offered Rabiu Kwankwaso the vice-presidential slot in the 2027 elections.
In an interview with Channels Television’s The Morning Brief
on Monday, Johnson said members of the APC reached out to him regarding a
possible Tinubu-Kwankwaso pairing
“It’s not insulting to offer him the vice president slot;
whether he accepts or not is a different matter,” Johnson stated.
He also added that since the elections in 2023, the NNPP has
kept its door open to speaking with any party expressing interest in working
for the country’s betterment.
Johnson is also one of the people who has been working with
Kwankwaso since 2013. Ultimately, he said, the decision will be by consensus of
the NNPP.
“People from the APC have called me to say: ‘If he is
offered, please encourage him to accept,’ but it is a team game,” he added.
Kwankwoson a former Kano State governor and the NNPP’s
presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, remains a significant political
figure in Kano and the Northern Nigeria.
