2023: Kwankwaso Explains Why He Is Different From Tinubu, Atiku, Peter Obi

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has said that he is different from candidates of other political parties seeking to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

Major contenders for the 2023 presidential race are Bola Ahmed Tinubu (All Progressives Congress – APC), Atiku Abubakar (Peoples Democratic Party – PDP), Peter Obi (Labour Party) and Kwankwaso himself.

However, the former Governor of Kano State said he is different from all presidential candidates because he goes around the country on roads.

“Not only the state capital, not only the local government areas. This gave me first-hand information on how and how our people live.

“The NNPP is based on the talakawa (masses), voters and good people of this country who believe in us. Nigerians know the APC and the PDP very well and they’ve failed. The two political parties themselves know that they’ve failed. The only chance they have is to buy votes,” Kwankwaso said.

According to him, if the election holds today, the NNPP has a brighter chance of winning the polls, boasting that no political party can defeat the NNPP.

Kwankwaso asserted that the PDP has been wounded in the Southeast by the emergence of some political parties.

He said: “Of course, in the North, we have caged PDP; even in the South-South, they are no longer popular because of the Presidential primary contest, and the APC has failed the citizens; no right-thinking Nigerian will want the status quo to remain, meaning this terrible situation to continue.

“I’m part of the formation of the PDP in 1999, so also the APC; unfortunately, the two Political parties drew Nigeria back to square one, or even worst in performance; this is why we formed the NNPP as a credible alternative to the two Political parties, we want new Nigeria. So, I’m so happy we have this party, NNPP, and also happy that all Nigerians, especially those earning their living, especially the masses, women and young men, are trooping into the NNPP.”

PDP And APC Are Dead Political Parties

Kwankwaso stressed that the PDP and ruling APC are dead political parties, having nothing good to offer Nigerians anymore.

Naija News understands that Kwankwaso asserted during his visit to Ado-Ekiti, as part of his campaign tour in the Southwest part of the country, to canvass for votes ahead of the February 2023 general polls.

At the Palace of the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adeyemo Adejugbe, Kwankwaso said both parties have, over the years, shown bad leadership and promoted economic problems.

The former Governor of Kano State recounted achievements his administration garnered when he was the Governor, saying such would make life more abundant for every Nigerian citizen if elected come 2023.

He said: “APC and PDP are dead, they are finished, and it is our party that will win the next year’s Presidential Election by God’s grace; we are on the ground in the North, and we will win the polls.”

Commenting on the dilapidated road network in Ekiti State and other states, the presidential hopeful said the bad roads have contributed to the security, economy and educational challenges of the country, hence his decision to contest again to make the country better.

He said: “The road from here, Ado-Ekiti, Osogbo to Abeokuta and from here to Akure is in deplorable condition, it’s the same story, it’s the same story about us, the roads are a reflection of what is happening in other sectors of transportation, like railways, waterways even in the aviation industry, and put them together they are also a reflection of what is happening in this country, in terms of economy, in terms of insecurity, in terms of education and so on, and all these put together, are the reasons while I decided to contest again to right the wrong.”
