Rabiu Kwankwaso, the former governor of Kano, says the New Nigeria People’s Party (PDP) is the most organised political party in Nigeria.
Kwankwaso spoke on Friday at the party’s national executive
committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja.
He urged members who will vote at the party’s convention,
scheduled for Saturday in Abuja, to display unity and discipline, noting that
stability within the NNPP remains critical ahead of the 2027 elections.
“I want you to keep on moving. As we know, tomorrow is our
national convention day, and all of us will be there to witness the historic
event once again. It is our understanding that as much as possible, people
should continue in their positions,” he said.
“Some, of course, will be promoted while some, for whatever
reason, may be reassigned in the party. We want that spirit to continue so that
we can have a very successful election tomorrow.
“We were able to conduct elections and congresses from the
local governments, state, and of course, the wards successfully.
“What we have seen over time is that the party has decided
to follow the footsteps of Kwankwasiya in terms of discipline, commitment and
honesty. So, I say congratulations to all of us.
“We have been quiet operators, not making too much noise. It
is a fact that not everyone knows we have been holding these congresses in this
country because of discipline. Of course, we are not the biggest party in terms
of numbers today.
“But I believe we are the most organised, most prolific, and
most performing party in this country.
“It is not the number that matters, especially now that the
election is approaching. It is the solidarity, understanding, and commitment
that matter.”
Kwankwaso said the party’s unity would attract new members
in the coming months.
“We know at the end of the day, others will find it more
convenient to come and stay in our party. And that is what we are trying to
do,” he added.
The NNPP is facing a leadership crisis, with one faction led
by Major Agbo and supported by Boniface Aniebonam, the party’s founder, and
another backed by Kwankwaso under Ajuji Ahmed.
