The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) gave its presidential ticket to the “wrong person.”
Kwankwaso stated this on Wednesday while inaugurating his presidential campaign office at the old Presidential Lodge in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital.
Recall that the APC fielded Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) as its presidential candidate in 2015 and 2019 elections. The party has now fielded a former Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for the 2023 poll.
Kwankwaso, a former Kano State governor of Kano State, said the experience the nation had under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) administrations worsened in the last 7-year reign of the APC.
“We were five governors that started APC to produce President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015. Unfortunately, when we were angry with PDP, APC became worse. And one big mistake APC made was giving its presidential ticket to the wrong person.
“In the North, we are the party to beat. APC has failed the nation. You may not understand what we are talking about because you have more security and a good economy here than what we see in the North,” he said.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Barrister Felix Morka, could not be reached as he neither answered his phone call nor SMS sent to him for comment on the matter, Daily Trust reports.
