A Lagos lawyer, Ladipo Johnson, has been picked by the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) as his running mate in the 2023 election.
The party announced this through its official Twitter handle on Saturday, according to Daily Trust.
“Road to 2023: Bar Ladipo Johnson is the Vice Presidential candidate of our great party,” the tweet read.
The development comes hours after Doyin Okupe, who was named as the “placeholder” vice-presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), said talks were ongoing between his party and the NNPP on forming a coalition for the 2023 elections.
