The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has warned Nigerians to eschew politics of ethnicity and religion while seeking support for his party’s candidates in the forthcoming election.
The former Governor of Kano State, who was received by his Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, on Wednesday, said people should understand the realities on the ground and vote for those who can bring real change.
He said, “I must warn Nigerians against politics of ethnicity and religion while seeking the support of the electorate ahead of the 2023 presidential election. “Some people don’t even understand the realities on the ground today. Every Nigerian is looking for a way out. Nobody is waiting for a neighbour or any leader to say this is the way.
“Any party or candidate that comes out with ethnicity or religion, that party or candidate at the national level has failed in the election even before it starts. For those of us who have been in the game for a long time, just prove yourself over the years, and remove every fear.
