A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Ladipo Johnson, says there is nothing wrong with President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, APC, offering the 2023 presidential candidate of the NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Vice Presidential slot in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.

Johnson, who made this statement on Monday, when he appeared as a guest on Channels Television’s ‘The Morning Brief’ programme, said it is not insulting.

“It’s not insulting to offer him (the vice president slot); whether he accepts or not is a different thing,” he said.

According to him, people from the APC have reached out to him on the possibility of an alliance between the Kano political gladiator and the president.

Johnson said, “I’ve been with Senator Kwankwaso since 2013, 2014 and it’s always about the beliefs of the moment and whether those you are going to get involved with would allow you or make sure that such things happen.

“Yes, there are rumours at the moment but it is a possibility because after the 2023 elections, we said we were open to discussions with anyone who wants to move forward.

“People from the APC have called me to say: ‘Oh, if he is offered, please encourage him to accept’ but when it comes to the party, it is a team game.”
