Don’t be Kwankwaso’s running mate – Ohanaeze warns Peter Obi

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has warned the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, not to accept any offer that would make him a running mate to any presidential candidate.

This came following speculations of merger between Labour Party, LP, and the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP.

Secretary-General of the apex Igbo socio-political organization, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, has warned the former Governor of Anambra State, not to welcome any idea that would make him the vice presidential candidate of NNPP’s Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Isiguzoro said Obi would lose his credibility and popularity if he chooses to be Kwankwaso’s running mate.

The statement by Isiguzoro partly reads: “The merging arrangements between the Labour Party and New Nigeria People’s Party will strengthen the chances of Obi/ Kwankwaso occupying Aso Rock.

“The headache for the Labour Party is never to accept the Vice Presidential position for Obi, any arrangements that would see Obi as a running mate to Kwankwaso will end up the popularity of the Labour Party.

“Mr. Peter Obi is the New Nigeria’s candidate, and Kwakwaso is a regional champion who should serve as the running mate”.
