Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has declared that his party will take over Borno currently led by Governor Babagana Umara Zulum, and other parts of the country in 2023.
Kwankwaso made the declaration at Maiduguri, Borno State capital, shortly after he formally commissioned the party’s secretariat on Saturday.

On Thursday, the secretariat was sealed by the Borno State Urban Development Board, but it was reopened on the instructions of the governor.
Kwankwaso said, “I want to assure you that God’s willing if you vote the governorship candidate of NNPP and three senatorial candidates, 10 members of the House of Representatives and 28 members of the House of Assembly from NNPP and the presidential candidate, I will make Borno to become like Kano State.
“Those who bring backwardness in Borno state are still around the corner to continue business as usual with few people benefiting; what we want is to correct it so that every citizen of the state would benefit.
“We want to witness a permanent peace so that the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) can return to their ancestral homes, we want to build and equip schools, reopen hospitals and highways for economic development.”
