Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has stated that he will not step down for any candidate ahead of the February 25 election.
According to WITHIN NIGERIA Kwankwaso made the announcement on Wednesday at Chatham House in London, where he discussed his plans and policies if elected as Nigeria’s next president.
Kwankwaso, on the other hand, has stated that he is willing to abandon his presidential ambitions in 2023 if a better candidate emerges to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.

Because he understands the issues, the LP flagbearer claims to have a practical plan to address every challenge confronting our country.
He said:
I understand the issues involved, the mistakes that were made, the wrong priorities that were set, and together with our team, we are better connected with the hopes and aspirations of the Nigerian citizens.”
We understand, agree with, and share grievances. And we have a practical plan to address each and every challenge bedevilling our country.
If elected, Kwankwaso also promised to revitalize the economy, create a favorable environment for businesses to thrive, and attract more foreign investment.
The LP flagbearer promised to address poverty and bring more people on board to address Nigeria’s education needs.
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.
