The 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has reaffirmed his commitment to his political ideals, stating that he is not for sale. This declaration comes after Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano state officially resigned from the NNPP, citing internal crises and legal disputes that have weakened the party’s cohesion nationwide.
According to reports, Governor Yusuf’s exit from the party was announced on Friday, with the governor citing protracted internal crises and legal disputes as the reason for his resignation. Reacting to the development, Kwankwaso addressed supporters, reiterating his dedication to his political convictions. The former Kano state governor and leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement emphasized that his long-standing political struggle has always been aimed at the emancipation of ordinary Nigerians.
Kwankwaso stated, “I’m not for sale. Our political convictions keep me grounded. If I were in it for personal gain, I would have taken the easy route and you would be looking for me elsewhere, not in this place.” This statement underscores his commitment to his principles and his determination to remain true to his political ideals, even in the face of challenges.
The NNPP has been grappling with internal crises and legal disputes, which have raised concerns about the party’s cohesion and prospects in the upcoming elections. Despite these challenges, Kwankwaso remains resolute, emphasizing that his focus on the emancipation of ordinary Nigerians remains unwavering.
As the political landscape in Nigeria continues to evolve, Kwankwaso’s declaration serves as a reminder of his commitment to his political ideals. With the 2023 presidential elections approaching, the NNPP and its candidate face significant challenges. However, Kwankwaso’s stance on his principles and his determination to remain true to his convictions may resonate with voters seeking authenticity and leadership in the country’s political landscape.
