NNPP 2023: Kwankwaso Picks Running Mate
By Collins Mbakwe
As the 2023 election gathers steam, the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) on Thursday said Rabiu Kwankwaso, its presidential candidate, has chosen Bishop Isaac Idahosa as his running mate.
NORTHEAST STAR learned that the NNPP made the announcement via the official Twitter account of its campaign organisation.
Kwankwaso arrived at this decision following his failure to persuade Peter Obi, a fellow presidential hopeful and former governor of Anambra State, to become his running mate.
Bishop Isaac Idahosa, an indigene of Edo State, is the senior pastor of God First Ministry, popularly known as Illumination Assembly, Lekki Light Centre (LLC), Ajah, Lagos. He is also a gospel singer, writer, and motivational speaker.
Bishop Idahosa, who is called ‘Prophet Talk Na Do’ by his followers, was born in the predominantly Muslim north, precisely in Minna, Niger State, but became a born-again Christian in 1979.
