The national leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, has expressed optimism about winning the 2027 presidential election.
Kwankwaso, who was the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, made this assertion on Saturday during the inauguration of the NNPP Secretariat located along IBB Way, Katsina.
Kwankwaso was in Katsina for a condolence visit to the Yar’adua family following the passing of their matriarch, Hajiya Dada.
During his remarks, he stated that the NNPP is positioned to secure victory in the 2027 general elections, taking over the presidency and other key political positions across the country.
According to him, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has lost relevance, prompting his departure from the party.
He urged Nigerians, particularly women and youths, to avoid being swayed by superficial incentives like food or money in the upcoming elections.
Kwankwaso called on party leaders to intensify their efforts to ensure the success of the NNPP at both the state and national levels.
He also commended the stakeholders in the state for renovating the party’s secretariat, describing it as a vital step in the party’s preparations for the future.
In addition, Kwankwaso pledged support for a young boy, Abubakar Ibrahim from Yammawa, who suffers from severe acute malnutrition.
NNPP’s state chairman, Alhaji Armaya’u Abdulkadir, highlighted the importance of enlightening voters about the party’s new logo, which reiterated education for all, a core value of the Kwankwasiyya movement.
He stressed the need for grassroots sensitisation to inform members of the significance of the new symbol.
