Boniface Aniebonam, the founder of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has assured the people of the South-East that the party’s presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwakwaso, loves them so much.

“My presidential candidate loves Igbo so much. With Kwankwaso, a lot of issues will be resolved,” Mr Aniebonam said.

Mr Aniebonan disclosed this in Lagos on Tuesday at a town hall meeting with stakeholders in the maritime sector organised by Prime Maritime Project (PMP) to unveil NNPP’s maritime agenda if elected in 2023 as Nigeria’s next president.

He said part of the NNPP’s major focus if elected into power in 2023 is the maritime sector,  where Igbos are in majority.

According to him, a huge number of Igbos are into the import and export of goods and services in the maritime industry, hence the need to support the NNPP presidential candidate.

“It is time for a new order in the maritime sector. We have a presidential candidate that does not have any baggage.

“We have a child of God to provide leadership in this country,” Mr Aniebonam said.

He said that NNPP had been working quietly and setting up structures to create a new order in the maritime sector and the country.

Mr Aniebonam urged the stakeholders to be part of the journey to the emergence of a new Nigeria and start work from the inside to build a new Nigeria.

“Hold me responsible for the implementation of the social contract we are having with stakeholders in the maritime sector,” he said.

Speaking, Rufai Alkali, the national chairman of NNPP, said the vision, mission and commitment of the party were to liberate Nigeria and Nigerians as well as build a country everyone would be proud of.

“We are looking at Nigeria as a whole. A country where there will be inclusion and where no section of the country is left behind. NNPP is the fastest-growing political party in Nigeria,” Mr Alkali said.
