Kwankwaso predicts wind of change in 2027, welcomes APC defectors
Former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, has predicted a “wind of change” will sweep away bad leaders in the 2027 elections. Kwankwaso made this assertion while receiving defectors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) at his residence in Kano on Thursday.
The former governor emphasized that Nigerians have suffered enough due to poor governance, citing insecurity, poverty, hunger, and starvation. “Nigerians and northerners, in particular, have suffered enough and no amount of pressure, fear, and deceit will prevent them from changing the situation,” Kwankwaso said.
Kwankwaso expressed confidence that citizens will resist attempts to manipulate the election through security forces and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). “When the wind of change blows, you will see those who think they have security and INEC running helter-skelter, and Nigerians will make the right choice of those who will address their unfortunate situation,” he stated.
The defectors, who spoke at the occasion, praised the people-oriented programs of the NNPP government in Kano State, which have positively impacted the lives of the people. These programs align with NNPP’s objectives, including upholding the constitution, ensuring security, promoting social justice, and economic empowerment.
Kwankwaso commended the new NNPP members for recognizing the need for change and acknowledging the party’s potential to rescue the country from its current challenges. “I am glad that you have now realized the imperatives of leaving your former party, having experienced the prevailing unfortunate happenings in the country,” he said.
The NNPP’s focus on people-oriented programs and its commitment to good governance position it as a viable alternative for those seeking a brighter future for Nigeria. As the 2027 elections approach, Kwankwaso’s message of change resonates with many Nigerians demanding better leadership to address the country’s socio-economic challenges.
In a bid to address the challenges facing Nigeria, Kwankwaso’s NNPP has been gaining momentum, attracting defectors from other parties. The party’s growth and popularity may signal a significant shift in Nigeria’s political landscape come 2027.
