Former governor of Kano state and presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) for the 2023 election, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso over the weekend declared that the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, have failed the nation.
Kwankwaso called on Nigerians to reject the candidates of the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party, adding that all indices of socio-economic development are daily rising in the negative side.
Kwankwaso, who said this over the weekend in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital during a consultation visit, expressed worry over the plights of commuters plying the deplorable Akure-Ado road, knocking the APC-led Federal and State governments for abandoning the people to suffer on the road.
Senator Kwankwaso, who represented Kano Central in the Eighth National Assembly said the rising cases of insecurity across the country and excruciating economic policies which he said had resulted in poverty, unemployment, inflation were enough reasons for the people to reject the ruling party.
According to Kwankwaso, “the way we are going now is one way to disaster in the country.”
“This our party was registered about twenty one years ago but in the last four months when I joined the party, so many people have joined us and that is why we have structures everywhere across the country. Not only that so many people have even registered including Ekiti state.
“We have seen the performance of the APC and 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 any of these cities, Abuja and other areas, you hardly see anything happening, poverty is at the highest level in this country, insecurity also at its peak and we can’t continue like that, because the way we are going now is one way to disaster in the country.
“So, the only way to avert that disaster is for Nigerians to go and sell the ideas of NNPP, which is a progressive party and vote for the party come 2023.”
