Rabiu Kwankwaso, the National leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, (NNPP), has denied having an agreement with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his counterpart from Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi.
Kwankwaso said claims of him ruling Nigeria for four years, Atiku ruling former four years, while Obi for eight years was false.
Speaking in an interview with BBC monitored in Abuja, the former Kano State Governor said he was unaware of such a plan.
He, however, admitted to have heard that members of Atiku’s camp are consulting and having meetings with regional leaders and clerics to push such 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.”
