Presidential aspirant under the platform of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Olufemi Ajadi, on Thursday, stepped down his bid, and has agreed to be the running mate of Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Ajadi announced the stepping down before a mammoth crowd of party supporters and other Nigerians at Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
He said, “Ladies and gentlemen, that is why, I, Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, having considered many things, and in the interest of our great party and beloved country, today (Thursday), relinquish my presidential ambition, to support the presidential candidacy of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
“It is all in the interest of our party and our country. You know Senator Kwakwanso is a great Nigerian, accomplished politician and administrator who will lift this country.
“I pledge my loyalty at all times to the course of serving our party and country first as a presidential running mate and eventually vice president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The Ogun State chairman of the party, Olaposi Oginni, had earlier described Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as God-sent for the purpose of rescuing Nigeria.
