The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has issued a stern warning to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging him to reevaluate his administration’s policies, which they described as “anti-people,” or risk being voted out in the 2027 general elections.
Hashim Suleiman Dungurawa, the NNPP Chairman, delivered this message during an interaction with journalists on Thursday.
Dungurawa dismissed speculations about the party’s presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He stated that the NNPP is growing stronger and expanding its reach across Nigeria, with functional offices and structures in all 36 states and local government areas.
According to him, this groundwork will ensure the party’s success in future elections.
Dungurawa urged the federal government to prioritize policies that alleviate the suffering of Nigerians, emphasizing the need for measures aligned with the people’s aspirations.
“With these harsh, anti-people policies, and your refusal to reconsider, prepare for defeat in the next general elections. Either you change them, or we Nigerians will change you,” Dungurawa warned.
He criticised the President’s policies, stating that, “From the podium on May 29, 2023, President Tinubu began rolling out anti-people policies.”
“It’s as though Nigerians offended him, as these policies have continued relentlessly. With these issues, and many others caused by the APC government, it’s only a matter of time before we ensure Tinubu is voted out in 2027. Kwankwaso, a true democrat, will step in to lead,” he added.
Dungurawa also praised the Kano State Government for its strides in democratic leadership, describing it as a model for others.
“We are fortunate to have a God-fearing governor who has transformed Kano through infrastructure development, empowerment initiatives, and human capital growth. Today, Kano can compete with any modern city globally, thanks to state-of-the-art facilities in both urban and rural areas,” he said.
He expressed concern over what he described as the APC-led administration’s efforts to create a one-party state, warning of the dangers of stifling democracy.
“Kano remains a shining example of what true leadership can achieve. It is now up to us to replicate this success at the national level in 2027,” he added.
