The presidential standard-bearer of the New Nigeria Peoples
Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, has described All Progressives Congress, APC,
and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as dead political parties who have nothing
good to offer the country anymore.
Kwankwaso made the disclosure 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.
Speaking at the Palace of the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus
Adeyemo Adejugbe, he berated both parties over what he termed bad leadership,
economic problem, adding that the two major political parties have failed the
nation.
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 citizens if elected come 2023.
“APC and PDP are dead, they are finished, and it is our
party that will win the next year Presidential Election by God’s grace, we are
on ground in the North, we will win the polls.
“Why I’m different from all Presidential Candidates, is that
I go round the country on roads, not only the state capital, not only the local
government areas, this made me had first hand information on the way and manner
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.
“If the Election take place today, NNPP has a brighter
chance, no Political party can defeat NNPP, the PDP has been wounded in the
Southeast by the emergence of some Political parties, 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.”
He also noted that the dilapidated road network in Ekiti
State and other states has affected security economy and education of the
country hence, his decision to contest again in order to make the country
better.
“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 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.” He said
