Kwankwaso Storms Anambra For Presidential Rally, Visits Soludo

Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has arrived in Anambra State for the party’s presidential campaign rally.

WITHIN NIGERIA reports that the former Governor of Kano State also paid a courtesy call on Governor Charles Soludo on Thursday at the Governor’s Lodge in Amawbia.

During the NNPP flagbearer’s visit, Soludo stated that the country requires leaders who truly believe in the country and want to see it succeed.

The governor praised Kwankwaso’s tenacity, faith in the country, and exemplary public service and dedication to our country.

He stated that the 2023 elections were not a must-win situation, and he described the Ndigbo as a nomadic people who could not afford to be an intolerant tribe.

I want to commend your tenacity and belief in the country, your exemplary public service and commitment to our nation.

I have always said those who have something to offer should offer it through public service. Public service is the biggest philanthropy.

In Anambra and indeed, the South-East, we pride ourselves as being republicans and that is freedom to converse.

Here in Anambra is the home of Azikiwe, Akweke, Chinua Achebe, Okadigbo, and so on and so forth and here, we are known as people who freely express themselves and associate themselves.

As an itinerant people, we cannot afford to be an intolerant tribe. We have a popular saying that ‘Oje mba, enwe ilo’.

My position is that everyone should be allowed to canvass freely and allow the people to make their choice.

It is a serious matter of where the country is and where the country will be in future. It is time for the progressives to begin to think of the ordinary person,” Governor Soludo stated.

The hard work is beyond the election. Whoever wins, we need to sift out and bring out almost like a government of like minds for the transformation of this country.

We are blessed. We have lots of challenges, but we need people who firmly believe in this country. It is possible for Nigeria to be one of the first seven best economies in the world.

We wish you best of luck in this movement, even though I have been intensely focused on what is going on in my party. This state is blessed. We are trying everything to make it work.

A large population of our people are in Kano. As NdịIgbo, we are a great stakeholder in all the places.

Here in Anambra, our politics is such that when we are running, we can fight among ourselves, but after the election, you see our people together, chatting. It’s not a do or die affair. Everybody should campaign freely.
