I’ll Withdraw From Presidential Race If…, Kwankwaso Says At Chatham House

Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso has revealed that he is ready to step down his 2023 presidential ambition if he sees a better candidate contesting the 2023 presidential election.

The NNPP flagbearer said this while reeling out his political credentials at the Chatham House on Wednesday.

The Chatham House is the British Royal Institute of International Affairs.

He said, ”I built over 500 classrooms while I was governor of Kano state, and when elected I will bring more people on board to tackle education needs in Nigeria.”

On insecurity, Kwankwaso recalled his time as Defense minister and Special adviser to the president of Somalia and promised to recruit more into the Nigeria armed forces.

Kwankwaso is contesting to be president with the likes of Bola Tinubu of the All Pregressives Congress (APC), whose party is the ruling party in Nigeria and enjoys wide support from the western part of Nigeria; Peter Obi of Labour Party (LP), whose profile has recently shot up as he continues to enjoy massive support from the Nigerian youths and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a former Vice President, is the flagbearer and he is expected to give Kwankwaso a run for his money in the northern region of Nigeria where most votes are expected to be cast in the coming general election.
