Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has called on Nigerians to reject leaders who are blaming and ignoring the victims of insecurity in the country.
Kwankwanso said instead of fixing the security challenges, the leaders who have failed were blaming the victims and ignoring their plight.
He made the call at the unveiling of his running mate, Bishop Isaac Idahosa, at an event held at the International Conference Centre (ICC) Abuja.
Kwankwaso said they would leave no stone unturned to rescue Nigeria from bad leaders.
“Together, we must leave no stone unturned for a new and a better Nigeria where justice and fairness rule, a Nigeria where peace, security are guaranteed.
“We want a Nigeria where unity and opportunity are available, a Nigeria which can be ruled by selfless leaders with integrity and competence,” Kwankwaso said.
The former governor of Kano State who said insincerity and intolerance by some leaders has inflicted severe wounds on Nigerians, added that such has further widened the fault line in the country.
“Victims of insecurity are ignored. They keep saying that insecurity is exaggerated. We live in a country where schools are shut down but some leaders are using hundreds of millions to purchase forms.
“All these wounds must be healed. We believed that healing the wounds will bring prosperity and global respect.
“Selection of our party candidates was guided by competence, courage, acceptability and above all, to heal the country of wounds that are existing,” Kwankwaso said, describing Bishop Isaac Idahosa as a patriot.
“He emerged from over 20 candidates that were all qualified. We want an all inclusive government that will be fair to all Nigerians. We present to you a rare Nigerian that fits these requirements.
“I present to you this 57-year-old man of God, a Nigerian with an impeccable credibility and clear understanding of the country. He is a promoter of a united Nigeria.
“He is a man who believes that a better Nigeria is possible. I present to you this Nigerian man of God, Bishop and a senior pastor to whom together we shall heal Nigeria from the wounds that have been inflicted in her. A new Nigeria where Justice, fairness, security, development is assured. I present to you, the next president of the federal republic of Nigeria,” Kwankwaso said.
