Former Kano State governor and ex-presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has criticized the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) under President Bola Tinubu, stating that its unpopular policies have worsened poverty and hunger, while also exacerbating the security situation in the country.
Kwankwaso, who stated this at the 7th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the NNPP in Abuja on Monday, also described PDP as a dead party going by the crisis the PDP is currently passing through.

While describing the NNPP as the fastest growing party in Nigeria, he said it’s the only party that can provide true leadership that will address the needs of Nigerians and bring succour to them.
“Our party has been doing so well to the extent that we at the level of leadership are satisfied with our progress.
“And of course, that will always go with envy outside our party, go with many attacks from within and more importantly outside the party.
“I’m so happy despite all the challenges, today our party, is the fastest growing party in this country.
“I remembered when I visited Katsina State to open our state office, there I mentioned that the two parties, especially the PDP was dead and there were so many concerns within the fold of PDP.
“I’m sure while I was making that statement, many of them did not see what is happening today that the party is being made into pieces, the party is imploding and therefore if they didn’t understand that time, now I think they would agree with all of us that the party was dead.
“The APC as it stands today you can see that the leadership is just up there in the air and the entire nation the people of this country are in the ground.
“At that level whether they believe they are doing well but all of us, especially the voters in this country believe they are performing very very badly especially if you look at the issue of security, the level of poverty in the country and of course the issue of hunger that we’re witnessing in this country.
“So, thank God that the two parties are both going down and our party, the NNPP is going up. We thank Almighty God for that,” the former governor said.
