The presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, has promised former governor of Kano, Ibrahim Shakarau, more prestigious positions if he stands by the party.

Kwankwaso was reacting to the rumour that Shekarau may defect to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over an alleged failure to fulfil the terms of the agreement the duo had before Shekarau joined the NNPP.

The presidential hopeful, denying having a rift with the senatorial candidate, explained why the party could not meet one of the requests of the Shekarau’s camp.

Speaking with newsmen in Maiduguri, Borno state capital, Mahmud called for support from all to ensure Tinubu's presidential ambition is collectively actualized in order to consolidate President Muhammadu Buhari’s "unprecedented transformation and development".

Mahmud, described as a very strong media practitioner, disclosed that his appointment did not come to him as a surprise, noting that Tinubu’s style of leadership is devoid of tribal or ethnic background.
