Rabiu Kwankwaso, the national leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has boldly declared his confidence in securing victory in Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election.
The former Kano State governor, who ran as the NNPP presidential candidate in 2023, expressed optimism that the party is on course to dominate the political landscape in the coming elections. His remarks were made during the inauguration of the NNPP’s new secretariat in Katsina.
During the event, Kwankwaso confidently announced that the NNPP is gearing up to not only win the presidency but also claim governorship and other key political positions across Nigeria by 2027. He firmly believes that the party is heading for national success, with preparations already underway.
“We are ready to take over the presidency, states, and other positions across the country in 2027,” Kwankwaso stated. His remarks signal a strong commitment to expanding the NNPP’s influence and a clear intention to challenge Nigeria’s current political order.
In his speech, Kwankwaso also took a swipe at the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), declaring it as politically finished.
“I wish to remind you that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is already dead,” he stated, attributing the party’s decline to its failure to remain on course. Kwankwaso, who was once a member of the PDP, hinted that its departure from a clear path prompted his exit from the party.
The outspoken politician urged Nigerians, especially women and young people, to be vigilant and resist being manipulated by false promises or financial incentives in the upcoming elections. His warning comes as a call for electoral integrity, encouraging voters to focus on genuine political reform.
Kwankwaso commended the efforts of NNPP members in Katsina for their work in renovating the party’s secretariat, urging them to continue their dedication as the party prepares for the 2027 general elections. He also emphasised the importance of grassroots mobilisation, particularly in educating voters about the NNPP’s new logo, which symbolises the party’s commitment to providing “education for all”—a central tenet of Kwankwaso’s political ideology.
Katsina NNPP Chairman Armaya’u Abdulkadir reinforced this message, stating that the party is focused on informing the electorate about its new emblem, which represents the NNPP’s focus on educational advancement and social reform.
