The former governor of Kano, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has disclosed to journalists on Tuesday at the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) National Secretariat, Abuja, that he is angry at the status quo, the prevalence of insecurity and state of economic melt down of the country. He made this know after obtaining the expression of interest and presidential nomination forms.
Nwankwaso said he has served at various levels of government both in his state and at the federal level respectively. He has done this through both the APC and PDP platforms.
Kwankwaso in his words, “From 1998 to 2014, I was governor of Kano twice, Minister of Defence, and member of NDDC board representing Northwest, but I came to realise that we were together in the PDP for the purposes that the party was formed that was to get rid of military rule.
“It was later that I realised there was so many differences (within the PDP). The ideology was completely different, and it became so difficult for us to work together.
“In 2015, I became a senator under the APC and worked for the party, believing that they were real progressives. Unfortunately, we realized that the PDP was even better.
“I am angry with the status quo, but for those who are satisfied with the status quo, ranging from insecurity to the issue of economy that is so much in shamble across this country, it is unfortunate that they will continue to be in the ruling party.
“I am happy to say that I have already paid the N30m to the party for the expression of interest and presidential nomination forms. Let me call on all Nigerians, especially my brothers and sisters who are in this game of politics to do what I have done, and that is to join NNPP.
He however call on Nigerians to join the NNPP, who is willing to change the political landscape of the country, and as well serve the country.
“But for those of us who believe in the unity of this country, Nigeria is divided like never before, we are the people who have decided to come together to make sure we have one Nigeria no matter which religion you practice. We have to come together to fight them and make sure Nigeria is returned to peace and modern world economy.” said Kwankwaso
