Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the national leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), says the party is the best alternative for Nigerians over the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC).
Mr Kwankwaso, a former Minister of Defence, said this at the NNPP national convention on Saturday in Abuja.
He lamented that citizens in many communities in Northern Nigeria have been chased out of their homes or killed due to banditry and other criminalities.
“Some are in the bushes now in the forest under the forces of bandits and other criminals. And looks like many people don’t care.
“I believe it is only in this country that this nonsense is happening. It is the responsibility of every government, responsible government to ensure peace of its people,“ Mr Kwankwaso said.
Mr Kwankwaso said that as a former minister of defence and a governor, he believed that Nigeria had enough resources and manpower to ensure security for citizens and build a stronger and united country.
He congratulated the party for its achievements within a very short time of its formation and lauded stakeholders for the speedy amendment of its constitution, slogan, and logo from the national convention.
“Even my humble self found it very difficult to identify our logo during the last general election. That was why we thought having a brand new logo for our party was very important.
“I believe that in the next elections, nobody will be confused about our logo,” he said.
Mr Kwankwaso stated that NNPP had noted challenges in Nigerian states, especially insecurity and poverty. “By implication, we are saying we will do whatever it takes to ensure security and eradicate poverty.”
On his part, Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State urged NNPP members to remain united to pursue the party’s victory in all future elections.
