Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, has claimed that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is now regretting how badly they treated him when he was a member of the party.

The former Kano State governor, in an interview with BBC News, asserted that he chose NNPP because he was underrated and mistreated by his former party.

According to him, the PDP has now realized that NNPP is the party to beat not only in northern Nigeria but in the whole country.

Kwankwaso asserted that both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and PDP can’t convince Nigerians to trust them with their votes again.

He added that PDP has gone from bad to worse since 2011 while the APC has failed to live up to expectations.

“The ordinary voter doesn’t want to remember the PDP or APC. The voters in this country, especially in northern Nigeria, will not go for PDP or APC because they have nothing else to say,” he said.

When asked why he exonerated himself since he was a member of the PDP and was also in the APC, Kwankwaso said the parties have changed.

“We realized right from the 2011 election, things have gone bad in the PDP. So we wanted a progressive party and we brought all our friends together. At the end of the day, we succeeded. We got the governments both at national and state and by extension, the local governments in this country. But everybody now is aware of the performance of the APC government,” he said.
