Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano State and the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) for the 2023 election, has urged people to vote against the candidates of the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party.
Over the years, he claimed, they have let the country down.
The former governor stated that all socioeconomic development metrics are trending downward on a daily basis and that the two major political parties have failed to help Nigerians over the years in any area of administration.
During a consultation visit to the state on Sunday, Kwankwaso spoke in the capital of Ekiti State, Ado-Ekiti. He expressed regret over the plight of commuters using the terrible Akure-Ado road and criticized the APC-led Federal and State governments for leaving the people to suffer on the road.
He urged the populace to have faith in the NNPP to reform the nation and set it on the correct course for progress while describing the party's recent growth in membership since he joined the platform.
According to him, the rising cases of insecurity across the country and excruciating economic policies which he said had resulted in poverty, unemployment, and inflation were enough reasons for the people to reject the ruling party, adding that, “the way we are going now is one way to disaster in the country.”
Kwankwaso, who represented Kano Central in the Eighth National Assembly said, “This our party was registered about twenty-one years ago but in the last four months since I joined the party, so many people have joined us and that is why we have structures everywhere across the country. Not only that so many people have even registered including Ekiti state.
“We have seen the performance of the APC and PDP and all of us believe that they have failed the country woefully and nobody should expect anything from them again. These people in the two parties have failed and failed woefully, they have nothing to offer.
“Look at the road from Akure to Ado-Ekiti, it is in a very terrible and deplorable situation. You go around any of these cities, Abuja and other areas, you hardly see anything happening, poverty is at the highest level in this country, insecurity is also at its peak and we can’t continue like that, because of the way we are going now is one way to disaster in the country.
“So, the only way to avert that disaster is for Nigerians to go and sell the ideas of NNPP, which is a progressive party, and vote for the party come 2023.”
On the speculations relating to an alliance with the PDP ahead of the 2023 election, the former Kano State governor who denied the insinuations said the party had no clear-cut agenda for the nation and that he would never return to his past.
“Don’t forget we have candidates across board now in NNPP ahead of the 2023 elections, so you will expect me to leave and join others in the PDP? It is not going to happen. I was a foundation member of the two major parties and they have nothing to offer again, that is why I left them and I can’t go back,” he said.
