The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Rabiu Kwankwaso has been taken to the cleaners by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for saying that the party is dead.

PDP in a statement by its spokesman, Debo Ologunagba said:

“Our reaction to the statement credited to Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso is that he is very inconsequential in the Nigerian national politics today judging from the fact that he is struggling to lead a party called NNPP which is also struggling to control only one state.”

“It is unfathomable to imagine that a failed and inconsequential politician with only one state would claim that a party that has 13 governors, many Senators, many members of the House of Representatives, several States Assembly control and strong presence in all the local government areas and wards across the country is dead.”

“More disturbing is that Sen. Kwankwaso has exhibited extreme selfishness and self-centeredness, which shows that he is not a leader.”
