A political party's decision has been criticized. The choice of Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso as a running mate is seen as a mistake. This opinion comes from the New Nigeria Peoples Party. They claim Kwankwaso's past behavior is a concern. His actions after a previous election are cited as evidence.

The party believes this history should have been considered before the choice was made. They argue that their own experience with Kwankwaso is relevant. Further details are available from the party's statement.

The criticism is directed at the Nigeria Democratic Congress, which made the decision to pick Kwankwaso as a running mate.
