The Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, is scheduled to travel to London to honour the invitation from the Royal Institute of International Affairs, popularly known as Chatham House.

Naija News reports that the former Governor of Kano State made the disclosure during the inauguration of the NNPP Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja on Monday.

Kwankwaso revealed that the party would soon pause its campaign activities and present a discussion paper to a selected global audience at the Chatham House in the United Kingdom next month.

Recall that the world-leading policy institute and think-tank forum, on December 5, 2022, invited the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, to London, where he revealed some of his plans for major sectors like defense, economy, education, and technology.

Chatham House has also invited the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, to discuss his plans for Nigerians on January 16.

Presidential Road Campaign

Speaking further, Kwankwaso added that the party has embarked on presidential road campaign with visit to 33 states of the federation and 300 local government areas, with plans to go to the remaining ones.

Kwankwaso said that the party deliberately chose to do the road campaign to avail themselves of the difficulties that Nigerian road users are living with across the country and to see the day-to-day challenges confronting Nigerian masses in their communities.

He said: “We deliberately chose to do the road campaign to avail ourselves with the difficulties that Nigerian road users are living with across  the country and to see for ourselves the day-to-day challenges confronting Nigerian masses in their communities. 

“We have covered tens of thousands of kilometres and visited over 300 local government areas so far. We have gone through difficult terrains, visited hard-to-reach communities like Illela in Sokoto state, Kauran Namoda in Zamfara state, Kamba in Kebbi State, Mubi in Adamawa State, Ikom and Ughep in Cross River state, Geidam in Yobe State, Ikare in Ondo state, Kwoi in Kaduna state and numerous such other places. 

“In all the places we visited, throughout our road campaign, we took time to visit the traditional and religious leaders in the areas because of our determination to carry them along when eventually we took over the mantle of leadership of the country.

“In particular these leaders will be the drivers of our flagship initiative of Community Participation and Reorientation Committees, CPRC, which we intend to create at all the 8809 wards. This committees will be funded directly from the Federal Government through appropriate legislations.

“Our experiences on the Road Campaign has further strengthened our commitment to the Pledges that we have made to Nigerians. While working to complete the remaining three states and commence the second round of states road campaigns, I am happy to announce that beginning from the 12th of this month, we will start our Zonal Rallies in Bauchi for the North East, Kaduna on the 14th for the North West, and Lafia on the 16th for the North Central.”
