New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso, has slammed former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Ijaw national leader, Edwin Clark for publicly endorsing Labour Party flagbearer, Peter Obi ahead of the 2023 presidential election in February.
Kwankwaso said he advise the leaders to stop disgracing themselves, that there is a time in life when you become a real statesman, not a politician.
He stated this on Wednesday when he visited the governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, at the Government House in Benin.
“Some of the people… we have seen on the news that they are supporting Mr A or Mr B, I think it is a big mistake. These are leaders I respect. There is a time in your life when you become a real statesman, not a politician.
“I can tell you also that any candidate or party that comes out with the face of ethnicity or the issue of religion, that party, that candidate, I can assure, at the national level, has failed that election before it starts.
“And I want to advise our leaders: they should stop disgracing themselves. We have so much respect for them,” Kwankwaso said.
