A chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Ahmed Tijjani, says the presidential candidate of the party, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, will beat other candidates to win the 2023 presidential election.

Speaking on Sunday in Kaduna, Mr Tijjani said “What the NNPP achieved in just three months of its registration, both the APC and the PDP couldn’t achieve in one year.

“If you look at the general acceptance of our party by the Nigerian masses, you will agree with me that nothing is stopping us from winning the 2023 general election.

“Just look at the massive reception that our leader, Sen. Rabi’u Kwankwaso gets each time he visits one state or the other, you can see the large turnout of people coming out of the streets to receive him, even before the campaign.

“I think that this is clear enough for people to see that we are in the process of winning the presidential election,” he said.

Mr Tijjani said that unlike other presidential candidates, Mr Kwankwaso has so many achievements to show in his previous leadership positions in the country.

“Take a look at the four major presidential candidates for 2023 for example, Bola Tinubu will tell you, vote for me and I will do this and that, Atiku Abubakar will say the same thing. Peter Obi appeared to be a presidential candidate only on social media.

“But NNPP is telling people that Kwankwaso has done this and that in Kano State and other states of the federation, if he gets the mandate in 2023 he will replicate what he did before and even add more.

“He is not just coming to make empty promises like others, what we are saying is that Kwankwaso has done it before, he will do it again if he gets the opportunity,” he said.
