The New Nigeria People’s Party leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, criticized the People Democratic Party as a “dead party”.
He bashed the ruling All Progressives Congress, saying they have no clue about the problems Nigerians are dealing with like insecurity, poverty, and hunger.
During the NNPP’s meeting in Kano, Kwankwaso made it clear that despite the party’s challenges, it’s the fastest-growing political movement in Nigeria.
He thanked the party’s supporters for being awesome and committed, and said he believes in the party’s future as a legit alternative in the country’s political scene.
“I’m pleased to say that despite all the challenges, today, our party is the fastest-growing party in this country. I remember when I visited Katsina State to inaugurate our state office,
I mentioned that the two parties, especially the PDP, were dead, and there are so many concerns within the fold of the PDP,” Kwankwaso noted.
He added, “I’m sure when I made that statement, many of them did not foresee what is happening today—that the party has been broken into pieces.
The party is imploding, and therefore, if they didn’t understand it at that time, now I believe they will agree with us that the party is dead.
“The APC, as it stands today, is disconnected from the realities on the ground. The leadership is up there in the air, while the entire nation and its people are left on the ground.
Whether they believe they are doing well or not, all of us, especially the voters, see that they are performing very, very badly—particularly when you look at the issues of security, the level of poverty in this country, and the menace of hunger that we are currently witnessing.”
The NNPP National Chairman, Dr. Ajuji Ahmed, said Nigerians should focus on doing what’s right and come together to create a better future.
The National Secretary, Dipo Olayoku, told everyone to get involved in local government elections to make our party stronger and democracy better.
He remembered that the last NEC meeting on April 5, 2024, approved the party’s new constitution, logo, slogan, and flag, following all the rules and regulations.
Also, Olayoku stressed that the NNPP is dedicated to backing its leaders and respecting the voters’ choice despite the political hurdles.
