Rabiu Kwankwaso, the National Leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has dismissed claims of an agreement involving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the Labour Party’s Peter Obi.
Kwankwaso refuted allegations suggesting a plan where he would govern Nigeria for four years, followed by Atiku for another four years, and Obi for eight years, describing the claims as baseless.
In an interview with the BBC, the former Kano State governor stated that he was unaware of any such arrangement.
However, he acknowledged hearing reports that members of Atiku’s camp are engaging with regional leaders and clerics to promote this narrative.
According to Kwankwaso: “I did not appreciate this at all.

“They were told that I had agreed to a deal where Atiku would serve for four years, I would serve for another four years, and Peter Obi would serve for eight years.
“This is completely false; such an agreement never existed.
“Such lies and deceit are precisely why we left. Myself, Peter Obi, Wike, and others all left.
“Now they are coming back, asking us to help those who humiliated us to achieve their goals.”
