PDP is Dead, APC Detached from Reality —Kwankwaso Blasts Nigeria’s Leading Parties

Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has criticized the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) under President Bola Tinubu, accusing the party’s unpopular policies of worsening poverty and hunger in Nigeria.

The former Governor of Kano State also pointed out that the APC is facing difficulties in tackling the country’s security issues.

In addition, Kwankwaso took aim at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stating that it is quickly losing relevance, while the NNPP continues to grow.

Speaking at the 7th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the NNPP in Abuja, he described the PDP as a “dead party,” citing its internal struggles, and asserted that the NNPP is now the only party capable of providing genuine leadership to meet the needs of Nigerians and bring relief to the nation.

Kwankwaso said, “Our party has been doing so well that we, at the leadership level, are satisfied with our progress.

“And of course, this success always attracts envy from outside and attacks from within and outside the party. I am so happy that despite all the challenges, today, our party is the fastest-growing party in this country.

“I remember when I visited Katsina State to open our state office, I mentioned that the PDP was dead, and there were many concerns within the PDP fold.

“I’m sure, at that time, many didn’t understand what I was saying, but now they must agree with us that the party is falling apart and is imploding.

“As for the APC, you can see that its leadership is detached from reality, while the people of this country are suffering.

“They may believe they are doing well, but all of us, especially the voters, know they are performing poorly, particularly when it comes to security, the level of poverty in the country, and the hunger we’re witnessing.

“So, thank God that both the APC and PDP are in decline, while our party, the NNPP, is on the rise. We thank Almighty God for that.”

Also speaking, the party’s Board of Trustees (BOT) chairman, Engineer Buba Galadima said, “While other parties are faltering, people are flocking into the NNPP.

“There is no party growing as fast as the NNPP. Our party enforces discipline at all levels, and we follow the rules without faltering.

“No other party has leadership quality like ours. They are jealous of us.”

In his earlier remarks, the National Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Dr. Ajuji Ahmed, expressed his satisfaction with the party’s ongoing membership drive and the launch of a new membership card. He encouraged all members to make efforts to obtain the new card, emphasizing its importance to the party’s growth.

Dr. Ahmed highlighted some tough decisions taken by the party, including the dissolution of executive committees in Bauchi, Taraba, Gombe, Oyo, and Benue states, and the establishment of caretaker committees (CTCs) in their place.

He urged the CTCs to provide effective leadership for the party and called on all members to remain loyal to the leadership, ensuring the party’s continued progress.
