In a surprising twist in turn of events in the political circle, an Abuja-based activist, Deji Adeyanju, has alleged that the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso is a pretender.
He claims that Kwankwaso not committed to contesting for the office of the president for 2023, but rather supporting the presidential candidacy of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to Adeyanju Senator Kwankwaso believes that Bola Tinubu would handover to him as the next president after his (Tinubu`s) tenure, if he wins in 2023.
The Abuja based activist further pointed out that it will take every other Southern and Northern presidential candidates 16 years to rule Nigeria if Tinubu wins in 2023.

Adeyanju disclosed the above in a tweeted on his verified Twitter handle, saying:
“If Tinubu becomes president, it will take another presidential aspirant from the South 16yrs to be president and same for a Northern candidate.”
“This is one of the reasons Kwankwaso is now supporting Tinubu. He thinks Asiwaju will help him get power in 8yrs time.”
He further tweeted:
“A very important lesson I learnt from this is that be less desperate about power. This is the same reason why Kwankwaso and Obi couldn’t work together when it’s obvious only one person can be president.”
