A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
presidential aspirant, Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Friday said his party was 1000
times better than the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Kwankwaso, a former governor of
Kano State, expressed the view in Lagos while addressing party delegates at the
PDP secretariat.
Kwankwaso said he was a strong
advocate of restructuring, and would speed up the development of the country,
if elected president.
“There have been agitations for
restructuring in the South West and other parts of the country.
“Let me assure you that I am for
anything that would promote the country’s progress.
“I am for anything that would
deliver democratic dividends. I support restructuring and I am going to
implement it if elected, ” he said.
The aspirant said the All
Progressives Congress (APC) had failed in the delivery of its electoral
promises to Nigerians.
He said the ruling party had not
been able to address security and economic challenges, among other problems
facing the country.
Kwankwaso said the PDP would
provide the kind of impactful leadership needed to reposition the country, if
elected.
He said he had the capacity,
experience and passion to turn the country around.
On why he left the PDP in 2014 to
join the APC, Kwankwaso said he did so because of the problems in PDP then.
He said he was back because of
the new spirit in the PDP, and that it was the only party that could move the
country forward.
“When we left the PDP, we thought
it was the worst party due to the crisis then.
“Now, the party has been
repositioned and we are back.
“We have since realised that PDP
is 1000 times better than the APC.
“We are back in the PDP to join
forces with our great party men to ensure we defeat the failed APC in 2019,” he
said.
The aspirant expressed regret
that PDP had never won Lagos despite the strategic importance of the state
politically.
He promised to mobilise his
supporters in the Kwankwasiya Movement and others to ensure that the party wins
the 2019 governorship election in the state.
