Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Vice presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, Archbishop Isaac Idahosa has said that the national leader of the party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, was the man who circumcised him politically.<\/p>\n

Idahosa, who was a running mate to Kwankwaso during the 2023 presidential election, also claimed that there are only two political parties in the country- the NNPP and the others.<\/p>\n

The religious leader spoke at the National Executive Committee meeting of the party held in Abuja on Thursday, insisting that Kwankwaso will be Nigerian President come 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst and foremost, it\u2019s important I congratulate our national leader, our navigator, our pathfinder, the man that circumcised me politically, His Excellency, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Idahosa further stated that the victory of the NNPP, which won one seat in the House of Representatives in the just concluded by-elections, is an affirmation of the strength and great strides of the party in Kano.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is gratifying to note that our party, NNPP, has continued to show reliance and focus under the able leadership of my boss, Kwankwaso,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me make it clear here that Nigerians are looking up to our leader for directions and leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only thing that made our party credible today is the credibility and integrity, sagacity, capacity, ability of my boss, the Madugu of Nigerian politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is the only credible alternative before us that is capable of restoring hope, equity and justice to the Nigerian people and the Nigerian masses are awaiting your rising to the throne very soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeadership is about the people and not of personal interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to note that we have only two parties in Nigeria, NNPP and others.\u201d<\/p>\n
