Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the former Minister of Defence and Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), emphasized during the mini National Convention of the NNPP in Abuja that Nigeria possesses the necessary manpower and resources to address the current insecurity plaguing the nation.
He asserted that with proper equipment and support, the nation's military could effectively tackle the prevailing security challenges.
Kwankwaso highlighted the urgent need for a change in leadership style, noting the failure of both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to address the nation's pressing issues.
He stressed the importance of combating insecurity and eradicating poverty to ensure that children can attend schools without fear, thereby promoting education across all levels.
The former Kano Governor said “We have taken note of the challenges of the day because in many states, especially in northern Nigeria, our children are not going to schools now because of insecurity, because of poverty and so on.
"By implication, we are saying we will do whatever it takes to ensure security and to ensure that poverty is eradicated.
“We have all what it takes to do that, so that education can flourish, so that every child from primary to tertiary will go to school in this country."
“This party, is one of the major hopes that this country is having today. We are all aware that PDP has completely failed. Many of us decided in 2014, 2015 to bring in some positive changes.
“Unfortunately, we have seen what happened from 2015 to date. There is the same APC government. Therefore, as far as we are concerned, we have a failing party that is the APC. And I believe Nigeria requires an alternative to APC and of course, PDP and the only party, in my opinion, and based on facts, because NNPP today is the fastest growing party in this country.
