The presidential flag bearer of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, has faulted former President Olusegun Obasanjo and leader of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Chief Edwin Clark, for endorsing the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
The former Kano State Governor, while reacting to the endorsement of Obi, said the two elder statesmen had “disgraced themselves” by endorsing Obi as it was wrong for any person who is considered a statesman to go about endorsing candidates ahead of the February 25 presidential election in Nigeria.
The NNPP presidential candidate, however, insisted that the endorsements were “based on religious and ethnic sentiments and will have no effect on the electorate, who are a lot wiser now.”
