Akin Osuntokun, Director General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, wished the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, success in any engagement with President-elect Bola Tinubu.
This is because Osuntokun stated that he would be pleased if Kwankwaso could join the Labour Party.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that his submission comes just hours after reports of the Tinubu and Kwankwaso meeting surfaced.
The Labour Party boss said he respects Kwankwaso’s decision to team up with Tinubu.
Osuntokun, while featuring in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday said;
I wish them well, “Kwankwaso is not responsible to me. I will be happy if he comes to us to work together.
If that is his choice, I respect his choice. I don’t see anything wrong in what he has done. He makes his own choice.
Speaking further about the 2023 general election, he claimed that the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) colluded with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deliver victory for Tinubu.
He added;
Obi has attained a level of international acclaim. The international community is interested in his case. In Nigeria, of course, he was obviously rigged out of the election.
The APC people know deep in their hearts and in alliance with INEC who won the election, who at least won the majority of the votes.
Kwankwaso received over a million votes in the February 25 presidential election, finishing fourth behind the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Tinubu, and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterparts, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, respectively.
