In preparation for the 2023 presidential election, the New Nigeria Peoples Party’s Rabiu Kwankwaso has named Isaac Idahosa, the presiding bishop of Illumination Assembly, Lekki Light Centre(LLC), as his running mate.
To meet the time imposed by the Independent National Electoral Commission, Idahosa’s nomination as the party’s vice presidential candidate was made public on Thursday (INEC).
Before Friday, July 15th, the electoral board had ordered all parties to upload the information about their candidates to its website.
After giving it considerable thought and thorough analysis, and after carefully vetting more than 20 potential candidates, the former governor of Kano State revealed Idahosa.
Kwankwaso made this announcement in a statement headed “Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso selects Bishop Idahosa as running mate” that was distributed by his media assistant, Muyiwa Fatosa.
The statement read, “Idahosa was selected because of his outstanding record, his impeccable integrity, his broad understanding of the Nigerian State and its contemporary challenges, his undiluted commitment to improving the conditions of Nigerians, and his sincere belief that a new and better Nigeria is possible if we work together with sincerity, tolerance, competence, and faith.
“A self-made achiever and a credible Nigerian, Bishop Idahosa is also selected because he represents the definition of a true role model for the Nigerian Youth.
“Kwankwaso expresses happiness that this patriotic Nigerian man-of-God will work with him in the journey to save the country from the current drift and create a new Nigeria where justice, equity, fairness, unity, security and development are assured.
“Bishop Isaac Idahosa will be publicly and officially unveiled to Nigerians on Monday, July 18, 2022, at the International Conference Centre, Abuja by 10 am.”
