PDP Fires Back At Kwankwaso

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described the 2023 New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso as inconsequential in Nigeria’s political sphere.

PDP spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, said Kwankwaso is struggling to lead the NNPP which controls only Kano State in Nigeria.

Responding to Kwankwaso’s comment that PDP is dead, Ologunagba said NNPP can’t be compared to the former ruling party.

Speaking in Kano, Kwankwaso said he and his supporters dumped PDP because the party is dead.

“I wish to remind you that PDP is dead because we left the party. Since they have gone out of the line, we decided to check out,” he said.

Responding, Ologunagba said Kwankwaso’s self-centeredness has shown he’s not a leader.

In a statement he signed, Ologunagba said: “Our reaction to the statement credited to Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso is that he is very inconsequential in the Nigerian national politics today judging from the fact that he is struggling to lead a party called NNPP which is also struggling to control only one state.

“It is unfathomable to imagine that a failed and inconsequential politician with only one state would claim that a party that has 13 governors, many Senators, many members of the House of Representatives, several States Assembly control and strong presence in all the local government areas and wards across the country is dead.

“More disturbing is that Sen. Kwankwaso has exhibited extreme selfishness and self-centeredness, which shows that he is not a leader.”
