The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has stated that their party’s presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, did not congratulate Bola Tinubu on his victory because he believed the election to be flawed.
In a statement issued yesterday, the National Publicity Secretary of the NNPP, Agbo Major, stated that reports circulating that Kwankwaso congratulated Tinubu were a figment of the fertile imagination of anti-democrats, political hirelings, and fifth columnists who were capitalizing on the popularity of the party’s presidential flag bearer. Major said that the reports were a figment of the fertile imagination of anti-democrats, political hirelings, and
According to Major, the party has decided to contest the results of the election because they do not reflect the will and the mandate of the Nigerian citizens who turned out to vote.
According to him, the sentiment of the nation since the electoral body declared Tinubu the winner of the election has clearly shown that it was justice juxtaposed and unacceptable to the majority of Nigerians who desire and deserve a new Nigeria that only the NNPP can usher in. He stated that this mood of the nation has been present ever since the electoral body declared Tinubu the winner of the election.
“The presidential candidate for the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Engr. Rabiu MUSA Kwankwaso, did not extend his congratulations to the candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on the outcome of the deeply flawed, highly contentious, and hotly contested presidential election.
“The report that Engr. Kwankwaso congratulated Tinubu was a figment of the fertile imagination of anti-democrats, political hirelings, and fifth columnists who were capitalizing on the popularity of the party’s presidential flag bearer,” said Tinubu. “The report that Engr. Kwankwaso congratulated Tinubu was a figment of the fertile imagination of anti-democrats.”

“NNPP rejects the outcome of the presidential election that took place on February 25, 2023, as it did not reflect the will, wish, or mandate of the Nigerians who trooped out to vote but were disappointed by the failure of INEC to conduct credible and transparent election and fulfill its promise to upload the Polling Units results to its portals, which would have guaranteed the authenticity of the results and declaration of the winner of the presidential election. ” “NNPP rejects the outcome of the presidential election as it took place on February
“Unfortunately, the presidential election turned out to be a charade as it failed to meet the expectation of Nigerians as well as the expectation of the international community.
“NNPP was a target of these electoral robbers who want the status quo to remain, in place of the new and better Nigeria the party promised if they were elected into office,”
“It is inconceivable that Engr. Kwankwaso would hastily congratulate Asiwaju Tinubu on his questionable mandate, which other candidates also claimed they won and had approached the court to seek redress for. It is unthinkable. ”
“Everyone who values democracy, fairness, and the rule of law will patiently wait for the outcome of the election petitions that will be heard in court. It would be absurd for the NNPP, which had the election rigged in most of its strongholds across the country, to concede defeat and congratulate the “winner” that INEC had imposed on them before the court makes a decision on the matter, which could go either way.
“The mood of the nation since the electoral body mischievously declared Tinubu the “winner” of the election clearly showed that it was justice juxtaposed, absolutely unacceptable to the majority of Nigerians who desire and deserve a new Nigeria which only the NNPP can usher in. “The mood of the nation since the electoral body mischievously declared Tinubu the “winner” of the election clearly showed that it was justice juxtaposed, absolutely unacceptable to majority of Nigerians
“The 11th of March is another date with destiny for the Nigerian people, as that is the day that they will go to the polls to elect their governors and state legislators. It is an additional opportunity to vote for NNPP candidates, which will help make Nigeria a better, greater, and more prosperous country.
