The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has refuted reports that its presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, congratulated the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, for being declared winner of the February 25 presidential election.

The NNPP through its National Publicity Secre­tary, Agbo Major, said that the report “was a figment of the fertile imagination of anti-democrats, politi­cal hirelings and fifth col­umnists leveraging on the popularity of the party’s presidential flag bearer.”

The party while de­scribing the poll as “gross­ly flawed, contentious and disputed presidential election”, disclosed that it rejects the outcome of the February 25, 2023 presiden­tial election as it did not reflect the will, wish and mandate of Nigerians.

The party said Nigerians despite trooping out to vote, “were disappointed by the failure of INEC to conduct credible and trans­parent election and fulfill 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”.

He added that the exercise failed to meet the ex­pectation of Nigerians and the international commu­nity, pointing out that it is the “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.

“It 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. All lovers of democracy, due process and rule of law will wait for the determination of the elec­tion petitions in court.

“Until the court decides them one way or the other, it will be preposterous for NNPP that was rigged out in most of its strongholds across the country to con­cede defeat and congratu­late INEC’s imposed ‘win­ner’”.

“The mood of the nation since the elec­toral body mischievously declared Tinubu the ‘win­ner’ of the election clearly showed that it was justice juxtaposed, absolutely unacceptable to majority of Nigerians who desire and deserve a new Nigeria which only the NNPP can usher in. March 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”.
