The National Leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has appealed to the people of Edo State, to come out en masse and support the candidate of the party in the governorship poll scheduled for September 21, News About Nigeria reports.
He made this call when he presented the Certificate of Return to the party’s candidate for the election, Dr. Azemhe Azena.
He noted that the party remains the only alternative for the people of the state if they truly want the state and its residents to progress.
“I am happy that we have a very credible candidate, a man of God, somebody who has a lot of credibility known to the people, and the masses in Edo.
“I believe this is the time to advise the good people of Edo to do the right thing, to do what the Kano people have done.
“They should run away from people who are going around to give them peanuts for the masses to vote for them. You know what is happening today in this country in terms of economy, in terms of security, and so on and so forth.
“We believe that this gentleman is capable to handle all those for the good people of Edo just as we are doing in Kano,” he said.
He further commended the NNPP primary election committee for conducting a credible primary that produced Azena, describing it as excellent and transparent in line with credibility, which is what the party stands for.
