Former Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has said state chapters of the New Nigeria Peoples Party would be strengthened before the next general elections.
Kwankwaso, who spoke in Osogbo, Osun State, during a visit to the NNPP state secretariat, said the party would not play second fiddle in the nation’s political space.
A statement by Osun NNPP chairman, Dr. Tosin Odeyemi, obtained on Friday, said a three-man committee comprising Dr. Rahila Aliyu Mukhtar, Dr. Muhammad S. Khalil, and Alhaji Abdusalam Abdulateef, represented Kwankwaso, the national leader of NNPP during the visit.
Quoting Kwankwaso, the release read partly, “Various reports from states, especially, Osun, is giving me joy as the national leader. We are not unaware of the challenges ahead of us towards 2027, but we are prepared.
“Nigerians have so far realised that various leaders we have been having are intentionally spreading poverty among the citizens. They want to cajole them again in 2027 with crumbs.
“NNPP, as a party, has good intentions for the masses. We have started mobilising people all over. We are equipping our state offices and we are also providing them with vehicles to ease their movement. We are ready to strengthen state chapters.”
Speaking earlier, Osun NNPP chairman, Odeyemi, commended Kwankwaso for putting the welfare of his followers above every other consideration.
Odeyemi assured that the party leadership in Osun would not rest, but would continue to push for more members to join the group to build a more virile party.
