Trouble for Kwankwaso as NNPP candidates collapse party structure for Tinubu in Osun

Members of the New Nigeria Peoples Party contesting various political positions in the Osun State House of Assembly have revealed plans to hold a mega rally in support of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress

This was disclosed by Muideen Afolabi, the party’s candidate for Ifelodun State Constituency, in a statement he signed on behalf of eight other NNPP House of Assembly candidates, obtained in Osogbo on Monday, December 19, according to The Punch.

According to Afolabi, the NNPP has not been campaigning for the presidential candidate of the party Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and other candidates contesting the poll in the state with less than 2 months to the polls.

The politicians noted that those planning the rally for Tinubu in the state had also commenced a door-to-door campaign for him.

He further said, “In collaboration with other National Assembly candidates who earlier dumped Kwankwaso, nine of us, House of Assembly candidates are set to organize a mega rally for Tinubu where masses of Osun would be convinced on why they should support him.”

Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura has opened up on his recent visit to the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The former Nasarawa state governor said he has declared his loyalty and support for Tinubu's presidential ambition.

He made this known while addressing reporters after the visit to Tinubu.
