The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Saturday, disclosed that his party was discussing a possible alliance with the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Kwankwaso’s announcement comes on the same day when Peter Obi was said to be considering a young northerner as his running mate for the 2023 election.
Meanwhile, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, continued his search for a substantive running mate.
Both Peter Obi and Tinubu named place-holding running mates on Friday to beat the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deadline for the submission of candidate names.
Tinubu named Alhaji Ibrahim Kabir Masari as his placeholder running mate, while Peter Obi picked Dr Doyin Okupe.
According to the INEC schedule, candidates have until August to substitute the placeholder nominees with substantive vice presidential candidates.
