The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has taken his campaign tour to Kogi and Benue states respectively where he received a rousing welcome by an unprecedented crowd on Sunday.
The one-time defence minister (2003-2007), a former senator and two-term governor of Kano state (1999-2003; 2011-2015) unveiled to a cheering audience his plans as the next Nigerian president, if elected.
Just as every other election candidate, Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is optimistic about victory at the February 25th presidential polls.
