The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, has said he will not be stepping down for any candidate ahead of the February 25 election.

“We understand, agree with, and share grievances. And we have a practical plan to address each and every challenge bedevilling our country.”

Kwankwaso also promised to revamp the economy and create a conducive environment for businesses to thrive and attract more foreign investment if elected.
