Presidency 2023: Kwankwaso storms Borno, plans tour of southern states

The Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Engr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Saturday visited Maiduguri, Borno State, expressing impression over the large crowd that received him on arrival in Maiduguri. He was optimistic that the turnout reinforced the hope of victory for the NNPP in 2023. He revealed his plan to visit the south after Bormo.

Kwankwaso, in media interaction in Maiduguri on Sunday, said the crowd who defied the heavy downpour to welcome him, showed how eager the people of Borno wanted change from status quo.

According to the NNPP candidate, “Look at how people came out; I was so excited, I was so happy that the people of Borno are now very ripe for a change.

“If only the people I saw on arrival yesterday will vote for us I can assure you we will win Borno.”

Kwankwaso said that people across Nigeria are buying into the NNPP and its mission which he adopted a few months ago, adding that before the election in next year, particularly when campaigns would start, the party would shock Nigerians with its popularity.

“The more you know Kwankwaso, the more you like him. The more you know kwankwasiyya the more the love…

“We will take that goodwill to the south as we have offices from ward to state levels all over Nigeria and we are fielding candidates for all positions across Nigeria,” Kwankwaso said.

He refuted the insinuation that he could step down for some candidates, saying that such speculation is mischievous and should be stopped for real contenders to face issue based campaigns.

“Let us start the campaigns, we will separate between the chaff and grains.

He declared: “Some people are saying that there may be no winner in the first round of voting but from our camp we believed that we are going to win in the first ballot by the grace of God
