As the race for the 2023 general elections draw near, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, has described All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) as political parties that failed Nigerians in all spheres.
He added that the two parties have nothing good to offer the country any more.
Kwankwaso stated this during his visit to Ado-Ekiti, as part of his campaign tour in the South-west, to canvass for votes ahead of the polls.
Speaking at the palace of the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adeyemo Adejugbe, Kwankwaso berated both parties he said plunged the country into what he called bad leadership, economic problems and insecurity.
He recounted the achievements his administration garnered when he was the governor, saying such would make life more abundant for every Nigeria citizens if elected come 2023.
“APC and PDP are dead. They are finished. It is our party that will win the next year presidential election by God’s grace. We are on ground in the North, we will win the polls.
“Why I’m different from all presidential candidates is that I go round the country on roads, not only the state capital, not only the local government areas and this made me have first hand information on the way and manner our people live.
“The NNPP is based on the Talakawa (masses),voters and good people of this country who believe in us. Nigerians know the APC and the PDP very well and they’ve failed. The two political parties themselves know they’ve failed. The only chance they have is to buy votes.
“If the election takes place today, NNPP has a brighter chance. No political party can defeat NNPP. The PDP has been wounded in the South-east by the emergence of some political parties. Of course, in the North, we have caged PDP. Even in the South- south, they are no longer popular because of the presidential primary contest, and the APC has failed the citizens, no right thinking Nigerian will want the status quo to remain, meaning this terrible situation to continue.
“I’m part of the formation of the PDP in 1999, so also the APC. Unfortunately, the two political parties drew Nigeria back to square one, or even worst in performance. This is why we formed the NNPP as a credible alternative to the two political parties. We want new Nigeria,” he said.
