Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State added his voice, calling on party members to exhibit unwavering loyalty and dedication. He emphasized the importance of giving 100% loyalty to the party, underscoring the need for unity and commitment among members.
In conclusion, Kwankwaso reiterated that NNPP is the beacon of hope for Nigerians, positioning itself as a credible alternative to the existing political parties. He called for cooperation and collaboration among all stakeholders to ensure peace and security in the country.
The statements made by Kwankwaso and other NNPP leaders reflect the pressing need for a concerted effort to address the security challenges in Nigeria. By advocating for the involvement of the military and emphasizing the role of the government and citizens, they underscore the urgency of finding sustainable solutions to the crisis.
