The New Nigeria Peoples Party has expressed confidence that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso will emerge as Nigeria’s president in the 2027 elections.
During a National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja on Thursday, the party’s National Chairman, Dr. Ajuki Ahmad, stated that the NNPP is fully prepared for the upcoming presidential race with Kwankwaso as their candidate. Dr. Ahmad emphasized that he believes Kwankwaso would lead the country into a new era of progress and unity.
He addressed the challenges the party is currently facing, describing them as minor and manageable. Dr. Ahmad stated that unlike other political parties experiencing more significant issues, the NNPP’s challenges are insignificant and will not hinder their progress. He also pointed out that those who left the party lacked the political, legal, and moral grounds to harm the NNPP.
The National Chairman urged party leaders at all levels to stay united and remain focused, dismissing the claims of a parallel leadership emerging in Apapa, Lagos, as unfounded. He reassured members that the party would overcome such challenges and that the documents being used by those behind the claims were inconsequential.
Dr. Ahmad also called for continued unity and hard work as the party works toward its goal of becoming the ruling party by 2027. He acknowledged that the journey ahead would be challenging but emphasized the importance of perseverance in achieving their objective. He underscored the NNPP’s dedication to representing the aspirations of Nigeria’s youth and its commitment to building a prosperous future for the nation.
“Our party, of course, is witnessing only a minute, but not unsurmountable challenge,” Dr. Ahmad said. “Unlike other parties, whose challenges question their very existence, our challenges are negligible in the sense that those who elected to break away from us continue only to throw pebbles on our windows. They lack the moral, political, and legal basis to hurt us.
“I therefore call on our leaderships at all levels—national, state, local government, and ward levels—to please brace up and confront these challenges, particularly to ignore the recent chariot that claims to establish a parallel leadership in Apapa, Lagos,” Ahmad said. “The questionable paper they have been brandishing like a weapon of mass destruction is nothing other than what it is—a paper. We will soon tear that paper apart.”
“Let us stand together as a party, move together as a party, act together as a unified whole, with one destiny,” he urged. “That is the destiny to become the ruling party come 2027. It is definitely going to be a tough journey; however, no journey is worthy and worth undertaking if it is not tough. We are the NNPP.”
“We embody the hopes and future of our youth, and we are poised to lift Nigeria out of its current state and build a nation of which all of us will be proud,” Ahmad added.
