New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential flagbearer and former governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has urged Nigerians to reject the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and as well as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
He said the call had become necessary because of what he called the combined failure of the two political parties in mismanaging the affairs of Nigeria since 1999 when the country returned to democratic rule. The PDP was in charge of Nigeria from 1999 to 2015, while the APC have been in charge of governance from 2015 till date. Within the period, Nigeria has been on a freefall in all indices of development.
The former Kano state governor stated this in his presidential consultation visit to Ekiti State at the weekend. According to him, the two parties have since 1999 failed in all sectors and couldn’t provide relief for Nigerians, which is why he wants Nigerian voters to reject both the APC which has Bola Ahmed Tinubu as its presidential candidate and the PDP, which is projecting Atiku Abubakar as its own candidate.
He said, “The only way to avert that disaster is for Nigerians to go and sell the ideas of the NNPP, which is a progressive party, and vote for the party come 2023. We have seen the performance of the APC and the 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 the country’s 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.”
