Abdulkadir emphasized the importance of grassroots sensitization, stressing that it is crucial for party members to understand the significance of the new logo. This initiative aims to foster a stronger connection between the party and the community, ensuring that members are informed and engaged.
Overall, both Kwankwaso and Abdulkadir’s statements reflect a strategic approach to revitalizing the NNPP’s image and strengthening its position in the political landscape as they prepare for the upcoming elections.
