Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate for the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), asserted that he was better educated than the other candidates running in the 2023 election.
Some of the presidential contenders, according to Kwankwaso, have poor academic backgrounds and shouldn’t be considered for any electoral post in the nation.
This was said on Tuesday by the former governor of Kano State during a session on social media training for party leaders in front of the general election in 2023.

Abdullahi Bichi, the party’s candidate for the Kano North Senatorial District, spoke on behalf of Kwankwaso and said that his education could be verified. He has the highest level of schooling of any candidate running for president.
Bichi said: “Kwakwanso’s education is verifiable. He is the most educationally qualified among every candidate contesting for President.
“When Kwankwaso was governor of Kano, he set up universities where both the children of the rich and the poor attended school without paying.
“Today, you can hardly take a flight in Nigeria without finding a beneficiary of Kwankwaso’s contributions in the Kano State education system working as a flight attendant, or as something else there.”
Prof. Rufai Alkali, the NNPP’s national chairman, exhorted party members to spread the party’s message as loudly as possible so that others can hear and see it.

However, he cautioned them against breaking any current cyber laws and added that participants must adhere to due process.
As “the great majority of Nigerians don’t depend on the social media for news,” Alkali continued, the NNPP’s cyber tigers must also use other means to connect with people.
“In most parts of the north, people depend on their transistor radios for news. So, we must also be able to reach those who’re not on social media,” he said.
