Seek change democratically, not by protesting, Kwankwaso urges Nigerians

The New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has urged Nigerians to seek change through democratic means rather than protests.

Kwankwaso conveyed this message in a statement he signed and released to journalists on Saturday in Kano, emphasizing that effective and lasting change can only be achieved through the power of the ballot.

“It is with a deep sense of responsibility that I share my thoughts on the current situation in Nigeria. We find ourselves in avoidable hardship because our leaders missed some steps since 2007. However, there is always room for correction and setting the country on the right track for economic development, prosperity, and better welfare of citizens,” Kwankwaso stated.

He called on Nigerian leaders to address the challenges facing the nation by ensuring good governance and adherence to the rule of law.

Acknowledging the ongoing calls for protests, Kwankwaso recognized the collective frustration and yearning for a better Nigeria but cautioned against the potential consequences of such actions.

Kwankwaso urged Nigerians to consider the power of their votes as the most effective tool for change.
