Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate for NNPP in the 2023 elections,has asserted that his party possesses the strategic formula to tackle the nation’s issues and various challenges.
Mr Kwankwaso, also the National Leader of New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, stated this when he spoke with newsmen shortly after the NNPP National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja.
According to him, the NNPP is the only hope for Nigerians, saying that the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had failed the people.
Speaking on insecurity in the country, Mr Kwankwaso, a former Minister of Defence, said the military has capacity to end the current challenge if given the necessary motivation.
He said that although it was the responsibility of the Federal Government to address the security challenge, Nigerians also had crucial role to play by supplying vital information to security agencies.
“As former Minister of Defence, a former Chief Security Officer of Kano State for eight years, somebody who has gone around and well exposed in this game of politics, I believe that tackling security challenge is now on the shoulders of the federal government.
“We have seen states forming some security outfits. Sometimes you laugh. The level at which it is today, is at the level of Nigerian military and anything short of that wouldn’t work.
“And everybody must work together to make sure there is peace in this country.
“Some of us who are from the villages and even towns, we can remember how our people were going to farms. Now people cannot go to the farm. They are also being chased from their villages and towns.
“Our children are daily abused and taken away by criminals and bandits in hundreds,“ he said.
Speaking, Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano urged party members to be total in their dedication to the party, saying there was nothing like 99 per cent loyalty to the party,but 100 per cent.
