The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has regretted his failure to form an alliance with his Labour Party counterpart, Mr. Peter Obi.
He expressed his regret when he spoke at a forum with the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) in Lagos.
Sen. Kwankwaso stated that if the alliance had worked, there would not have been the current contemplation that there might be a runoff presidential poll in 2023, because he and Peter Obi would have won by a landslide.
He said the alliance didn’t see the light of day because of the insistence of the Labour Party team that power must return to the South East.
His team was led by Buba Galadima, which considered age, educational qualification, office held and experience.
He noted that nobody can be president of Nigeria now based on ethnic and regional considerations.
