The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso has apologized over his absence at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Annual Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) which held in Lagos.
KanyiDaily recalls that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and his counterpart in the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, attended the conference.
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, was also absent, but his running mate, Kashim Shettima, represented him at the conference which is scheduled to hold between August 19 to 26, 2022.
In a statement on Monday night by Abdulmumin Jubril, his campaign spokesman, Kwankwaso apologized over for his inability to honour the invitation as speaker at the NBA Conference.
The former Kano governor said he would have sent his running mate, Isaac Idahosa, to represent him and share the party’s perspective of a new and prosperous Nigeria but, unfortunately, he was outside the country.
He wrote, “I write to acknowledge receipt of your letter on the above subject matter and wish to notify you of my inability to attend this very important conference as a result of other pressing national commitments.
“Under the circumstance, I would have sent my running mate, Bishop Isaac Idahosa, to represent me and share our perspectives for a new and prosperous Nigeria. But unfortunately, he is outside the country at the moment.
“I, therefore, wish to extend my sincere apology for my inability to attend and assure you that the New Nigeria People’s Party share a common vision with the NBA towards our common vision of peace, unity and prosperity of our beloved country.
“While looking forward to future opportunities where we can rob minds on how to move our country forward, please accept on behalf of myself and the New Nigeria People’s Party assurance of my esteem regards. Yours sincerely.”
KanyiDaily recalls that former Kano governor, Ibrahim Shekarau had recently ended his political romance with Rabiu Kwankwaso over what he described as alleged “betrayal of trust” by the NNPP.
