This online news outlet understands that the party made the announcement on the official Twitter page of its campaign organization on Thursday where it wrote, “Our VP Pastor Bishop Isaac Idahosa from Edo State.”

iexclusivenews Nigeria reports that Kwankwaso’s choice comes after he failed to get the presidential candidate of the Labour Party and former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi to be his running mate.

Peter Obi’s refusal to be Kwankwaso’s running mate also ended the two political parties’ alliance talks as they had announced earlier that they were in talks on reaching an alliance ahead of the 2023 elections.
