Kwankwaso picks Bishop Idahosa as running mate

The New Nigeria Peoples Party’s (NNPP) presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso has named Bishop Isaac Idahosa, a well-liked cleric in Lagos, as his running mate for the 2023 presidential election.

On July 14, 2022, Kwankwaso declared that Bishop Idahosa, the presiding pastor of God First Ministry, also known as Illumination Assembly, Lekki Light Centre (LLC), Ajah, Lagos will be his running mate.

Apart from being a pastor, Bishop Idahosa is 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.

Kwankwanso, who is a two-time Kano State Governor, had attempted to team up with the presidential candidate of the Labour Party Peter Obi, but his effort to prevail on the former Anambra State Governor to accept being his running mate failed.
