RABIU KWANKWASO: We Need a Hands-on President Former Kano State Governor and presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) says the story of Nigeria will change the moment we elec
Former Kano State Governor and presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party says the story of Nigeria will change the moment we elect a capable president who is not afraid to take hard decisionsTo answer that question, I think one should even go back to why I joined politics. I joined politics because I realised that the way and manner people, especially the leaders at the time, were handling issues. They were handling things the wrong way.
You see, I mentioned the issue of capacity. It is a big issue for me. I believe that if there is no capacity to handle any job it becomes a big problem. The military, as I told you, are in a very good position to handle this issue. But the way and manner that things are happening, I think, makes it very difficult for them to operate. There must be an issue of reward and punishment.
Let’s focus on public education. What’s your vision for education at the primary, secondary levels? And right now, university lecturers have been on strike for six months. How would you tackle this problem? It is the same. Sometimes I see some of my friends talking about what they will do when they become president. Don’t come and tell me what you will do. When you had an opportunity to serve before as governor, you didn’t do anything? Making mouth and shouting that you will do this and that makes no meaning. In 2023, we shouldn’t start experimenting with people because they can talk.
That is what our opponents are saying. If you want to know somebody, don’t see him in this room or in the airport and say, ‘I like him, he’s a good man or a bad man’. Go to his hometown, go to his village, and find out. Charity, as they say, begins from home. My politics and even support started from my ward. Then local government in a widely contested election, then constitutional conference, etc. The support is expanding like that.
