Nigerian activist, Deji Adeyanju, has given reasons to why the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso is supporting his All Progressives Congress’ counterpart, Bola Tinubu.
According to Deji, Kwankwaso is of the believe that the APC national leader would hand over power to him after 2023.
Deji gave the same reason as the cause of Kwankwaso’s refusal to support the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
In a series of tweets on his verified Twitter handle, Deji said it will take a candidate from both the South and North another 16 years to rule Nigeria if Tinubu wins in 2023.
Adeyanju said;
“If Tinubu becomes president, it will take another presidential aspirant from the South 16yrs to be president and same for a Northern candidate.
“This is one of the reasons Kwankwaso is now supporting Tinubu. He thinks Asiwaju will help him get power in 8yrs time.
“A very important lesson I learnt from this is that be less desperate about power. This is the same reason why Kwankwaso and Obi couldn’t work together when it’s obvious only one person can be president.”
