Again, Kwankwaso releases bombshell, explains what will happen to Tinubu, Atiku during 2023 poll

Rabiu Kwankwaso, the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), on Monday, February 2, said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) cannot win elections.

Speaking in an interview with BBC News, the former Kano state governor said that both political parties would not be able to convince Nigerians to trust them with their votes again.

He also said that while the PDP has gone from bad to worse since 2011, the ruling APC has failed to live up to its expectations.

Kwankwaso's words: “The ordinary voter doesn’t want to remember the PDP or APC. The voters in this country, especially in Northern Nigeria, they will not go for PDP or APC because they have nothing else to say."

Kwankwaso claims he is not part of the rot in the system

However, exonerating himself as a former member of the PDP and the ruling APC, Kwankwaso said that since he retired from both parties, there had been series of changes he could not have conformed with.

He said: “We realised right from the 2011 election things have gone bad in the PDP. So we wanted a progressive party, and we brought all our friends together. At the end of the day, we succeeded.

"We got the governments both at national and state and, by extension, the local governments in this country. But everybody now is aware of the performance of the APC government."

Kwankwaso reveals how politicians get cash for campaigns

The presidential candidate of the NNPP said the CBN policy on the new naira note is to punish the poor Nigerians.

According to the ex-Kano governor, the notion that it will stop politicians from getting money to buy votes is a failed proposition.

The former Kano governor said that most of the big-time politicians share that they control banks or friends who can help them to mobilise the actual cash they need for campaigns.
