A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano, Malam Hisham Habib, has asserted that the entry of the national leader and also presidential candidate in 2023 Rabiu Kwankwaso has uplifted the party more in its entire years of existence.
This was just as he added that Nigerians from all walks of life trooped into the party because of the former Defence minister and the majority of members nationwide see Kwankwaso as the leader which naturally puts him in front considering his antecedents in the political landscape
Habib, stated this on Saturday, while speaking with the press in Kano noting that “take it or leave it Kwankwaso’s name is a force to be reckoned with in Nigerian politics.
“As a member and a witness of the party’s activities before and after Kwankwaso entered the party with his supporters, the statements credited to the party’s founder were without decorum and contentment.
“Before Kwankwaso joined the NNPP, the party was at its lowest ebb and the leadership has not been able to resuscitate the weak structures, especially founder Dr Boniface Aniebonam and his loyalists should be grateful to God for routing Kwankwaso into a party which cannot sponsor delegates to a convention talkless of winning at the polls.”
He, however, hinted that “Kwankwaso’s entrance brought NNPP the first major victory that was spectacular and unimaginable, we won the governorship with the highest number in the country that no other governor scored a million votes is a milestone and a feat, moreover the party s presence at the national assembly was unprecedented.”
He, therefore, called on the Board of Trustee Chairman to display the better part of maturity expected of a statesman and ignore the evil machinations of the saboteurs who are scared of the successes recorded by the party and the prospect it has in the near future.
He also emphasised that Kwankwaso has been consistent in his dealings with people who supported him which earned him respect globally and nationally.
