The New Nigeria Peoples Party on Thursday said it had enlisted over 1,000 non-governmental organisations and civil rights movements that would support them in the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n
The party expressed optimism that with the support they were getting, they believed that a former governor of Kano State, Musa Kwankwaso, would be the next President of Nigeria.<\/span><\/p>\n The Liaison Officer of the NNPP, Bashir Mohammed Abacha, stated these during a meeting the party convened with the NGOs that are registered with the party.<\/span><\/p>\n According to him, the meeting aimed to know the challenges, prospects and the actualisation of their dreams from the NGOs perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n Abacha said, \u201cIt is not like we only have 50 registered NGOs. We have much more than that and they are under my office. We have started a meeting we will be doing in serries so we have 50 NGOs today in this meeting. We have over 1000 registered NGOs and associations we are dealing with right now.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe essence is that, if you are going for an election, you need people with electoral value. The associations are from the National, States, and the Local Governments. If you are registered with the corporate affairs commission, the chances are that you have people right from the ward and at the national level.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s why we are partnering with them to ensure that we have genuine association with genuine people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Speaking on the chances of Kwankwaso in the 2023 election, Abacha said there was no politician amongst the constestants that can defeat Kwankwanso.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cTell me in the whole of Nigeria who has the capacity of Rabiu Kwankwaso to govern Nigeria. Forget about the big names you are hearing. This man has the pedigree. He was a governor, Minister and Senator. He lost election as governor and still came back. Kwankwaso is an exceptional politician.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cNo one loses election as a sitting governor and still come back. Kwankwanso came back to complete his eight years tenure.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cNo politician has his pedigree and he stand as the most qualified politician Nigeria has at the moment. We are confidence that Kwankwaso will win.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOur party is having alot of sympathy and it is as a result of Kwankwaso. Infact, people are leaving the PDP and the APC to the NNPP as a result of the leadership qualities of Kwankwanso. His compassion, acceptability and performance is attracting alot of people to Kwankwaso\u201d, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The New Nigeria Peoples Party on Thursday said it had enlisted over 1,000 non-governmental organisations and civil rights movements that would support them in the 2023 general elections.
