Rabiu Kwankwaso has denied congratulating Asiwaju Bola Tinubu after he was declared elected as the next president by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement by the spokesman of NNPP, Dr Agbo Major, on Tuesday, Kwankwaso said he didn\u2019t congratulate the former Lagos governor because the February 25 presidential election was grossly flawed and disputed.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cThe New Nigeria People\u2019s Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, Engr. Rabiu Kwankwaso did not congratulate the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on the grossly flawed, contentious and disputed presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe report that Engr. Kwankwaso congratulated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/03\/07\/tinubu-seeks-court-order-to-obtain-materials-to-defend-his-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tinubu<\/a> as a figment of the imagination of anti-democrats, political hirelings and fifth columnists leveraging on the popularity of the party\u2019s presidential flag bearer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNNPP rejects the outcome of the February 25, 2023, presidential election as it did not reflect the will, wish and mandate of the Nigerians who trooped out to vote but were disappointed by the failure of INEC to conduct the credible and transparent election and fulfil its promise to upload the Polling Units results to its portals which would have guaranteed the authenticity of the results and declaration of the winner of the presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSadly, the presidential poll turned out to be a charade as it failed to meet the expectation of Nigerians and the international community. NNPP was a target of these electoral robbers who want the status quo to remain, in place of the new and better Nigeria the party promised if voted into office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is unthinkable that Engr. Kwankwaso would hastily congratulate Asiwaju Tinubu on his questionable mandate which other candidates also claimed they won and had approached the court to seek redress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll lovers of democracy, due process and rule of law will wait for the determination of the election petitions in court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil the court decides them one way or the other, it will be preposterous for NNPP which was rigged out in most of its strongholds across the country to concede defeat and congratulate INEC\u2019s imposed \u201cwinner\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mood of the nation since the electoral body mischievously declared Tinubu the \u201cwinner\u201d of the election clearly showed that it was justice juxtaposed, absolutely unacceptable to the majority of Nigerians who desire and deserve a new Nigeria which only the NNPP can usher in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarch 11 is another date with destiny as Nigerians go to the polls to choose their governors and State legislators. It is yet another opportunity to vote for NNPP candidates for a better, greater and prosperous Nigeria. Join us to make it happen and experience a better life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The presidential candidate of New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Engr.
