As the 2023 election draws near, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has visited a former military Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar, at his residence in Minna, Niger State.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Kwankwaso, who was the Governor of Kano state from 1999 to 2003 and 2011 to 2015, was in Niger State on Wednesday and Thursday to Commission the NNPP Secretariat in Minna and consult with party stakeholders and elder statesmen.
He was received by large crowds of party supporters.
Meanwhile, the campaign council of Kwankwaso has dismissed a recent opinion poll that put the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, ahead of him and others.
In the result of the poll conducted and released by ANAP Foundation, on Thursday, Obi was ranked first, beating Kwankwaso, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Both Messrs Tinubu and Atiku shared the second position, while Kwankwaso came a distant fourth position in the poll.
Speaking on “Politics Today” a programme on Channels Television, on Thursday, Abdulmumin Jubril, the spokesperson of the NNPP presidential campaign council, said the programme gave credence to the poll which should have been ignored.
