The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 general election, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has declared that no amount of pressure would suppress the North from voting against the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election.

Kwankwaso, who insisted that the North has suffered more than enough crucifixion, rising from bad economic, high cost of living, inflation, and impact of fuel subsidy removal occasioned by APC government, said NNPP is ready to capture the country in 2027.

Kwankwaso stated this on Thursday at his Miller Road Kano Mansion while receiving over 2,000 APC members from Dala and Kiru local government areas who dumped their party and decamped to NNPP.

The leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement said, “Nigerians, more specifically northerners, have suffered enough and no amount of pressure, fear and attacks will change their minds from changing the narratives.”

Kwankwaso, however, challenged the North to rethink their choice of political party ahead of the next general election considering the present economic reality they found themselves.

He added that “it is clear to everybody that the journey of APC government is clearly against the poor and they will never change on it.”

According to him, “regardless of their belief that they would use Security and INEC in the forthcoming elections, that will not work. Nigerians are fed up with them and will surely fight to change the government.

“When the storms of change blow, you will see those who think they have security and INEC running helter-skelter, and Nigerians will make the right choice of those who will soften their unfortunate situation.”

While receiving the APC decampees, Kwankwaso emphasized that NNPP is overwhelming the entire APC structure in the two local government areas with the collapse of entire structures at APC strongholds.

“APC that we collectively created has now turned a vicious cycle for the poor with no security, and poverty eating deep into the fabric of Nigerians. This is no longer acceptable to citizens,” Kwankwaso said.
