Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNNP) Rabiu Kwankwaso has been advised to return to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) where he stands a greater chance of actualising his presidential aspiration.
Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC party Hon. Yakubu Murtala Ajaka gave this advice on Sunday in Abuja.
He said Kwankwaso cannot actualise his presidential ambition under NNPP.
Ajaka, who spoke with newsmen, said it was no too late for Kwankwaso to retrace his step and return home.
The APC spokesman maintained that Kwankwaso knew about the formation of the party, contributed immensely to its success in 2015 and assured the party would repay him at the appropriate time.
“That is why I said it’s not too late for him to return to the APC. That’s where he naturally belongs and have an assurance of becoming a President one day, and not in his current sectional NNPP.

“Although, some people might be deceiving him by calling him Mr. President already but just one or two states in the North-west can not make him a President. Kwankwaso needs a national party like APC to achieve his presidential ambition. So, I plead with him to do the needful before its too late,” Ajaka said.
On Peter Obi, the presidential flag of the Labour Party(LP) Ajaka said when the real campaign starts Nigerians will differentiate between boys and men in politics of 2023 general elections.
“Just like Kwankwaso, Peter Obi is only enjoying sectional sympathy but a real presidential candidate needs to enjoy acceptability from all parts of the country.
“So, we believe that Peter Obi should enjoy his social media frenzy for now before the real campaign starts very soon,” he stated.
The APC spokesman dismissed fears of Atiku Abubakar and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) posing serious challenge for the APC in 2023..
He reminded Nigerians that “PDP and Atiku are good customers to APC who cannot go beyond coming second at any election, even that second position has been threatened with the recent result of Ekiti governorship election.”
He said the opposition party will make “all the noises without facts, enjoy its propaganda for awhile but voters will eventually distinguish between PDP lies and APC record of achievements. At the end of the story our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will certainly emerge victorious in 2023.”
