The national leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), made headlines on Monday when he labeled the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a “dead party.” His remarks came during the NNPP’s National Executive Committee meeting held in Kano.
Kwankwaso did not stop at criticizing the PDP; he also took aim at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He argued that the APC is out of touch with the pressing issues Nigerians are currently facing, including rising insecurity, severe poverty, and widespread hunger.
During his address, Kwankwaso emphasized that despite the significant challenges the NNPP faces, it is emerging as the fastest-growing political movement in Nigeria. He expressed gratitude to the party’s supporters for their unwavering dedication and commitment.
The NNPP leader conveyed a sense of optimism about the party’s future, asserting that it represents a viable alternative in Nigeria’s political landscape. He noted that the party is gaining momentum and support from the populace.

Reflecting on a previous visit to Katsina State, Kwankwaso recalled inaugurating the party’s state office and reiterated his earlier claim that both the PDP and APC were faltering. He pointed out that many within the PDP may not have anticipated the party’s current fragmentation.
Kwankwaso remarked, “I’m sure when I made that statement, many of them did not foresee what is happening today—that the party has been broken into pieces.” His comments underscored the internal strife within the PDP.
He further stated, “The party is imploding,” suggesting that the issues plaguing the PDP are severe enough to lead to its disintegration. He believes that those who doubted his earlier assertions must now recognize the reality of the situation.
Turning his attention to the APC, Kwankwaso argued that the party is disconnected from the real-life struggles of ordinary Nigerians. He described the leadership as being “up there in the air,” while the citizens grapple with daily hardships.
Kwankwaso emphasized that regardless of the APC’s perception of its performance, voters clearly see a decline, particularly concerning security and the escalating levels of poverty in the country.
In conclusion, Kwankwaso’s statements reflect a growing confidence in the NNPP as a political force, while simultaneously highlighting the challenges faced by both the PDP and APC in addressing the needs of the Nigerian populace.
