2023: Kwankwaso Finally Revealed Why He Left PDP, APC For NNPP

Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has stated that he quit the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because he was dissatisfied with the political system.

Kwankwaso revealed this on Sunday in Abuja at a town hall gathering for presidential aspirants organized by Arise Television and the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD).

According to the former Kano State governor, the political system has failed, which is why he opted to join the NNPP in order to chart a new course for the country.

He said: “I’m also angry with the system like every other Nigerian and it is because of those reasons that some of us are angry to the extent of leaving the PDP and the APC because we feel there are better ways of doing things in this country.

“We believe the system has failed and that is why we have decided to go to New Nigeria Peoples Party, the unscathed party in this country.”

Further, Kwankwaso noted that the country’s constitution has addressed the ethnic bias of some candidates’ campaigns.

He went on to say that any presidential candidate who defended an ethnicity, tribe, religion, or region had already lost the race.

He added, “The Constitution of this country has taken care of that. Any presidential candidate that came out in defence of ethnicity, tribe, religion, region has lost the election even before the election.”

Kwankwaso observed that for a candidate to win a presidential election, he or she must have won the most popular votes and win in two-thirds or 24 of the 36 states.

“North cannot win elections on its own; South cannot win elections on its own,” he stressed.
