Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the national leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, and former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has accused some Northern leaders of spreading falsehood.
He said the leaders were interfering in the selection of candidates, particularly in the presidential election.
Kwankwaso said it was wrong for such people to claim they represent the region.
The presidential candidate of the NNPP in the 2023 general elections said that their action was causing division and hindering democracy by electing leaders who were not qualified.
Kwankwaso, who stated this in an interview with BBC Hausa, said that events that unfolded in the previous elections should make the leaders refrain from anything related to the selection of candidates and allow the people to choose who they really want to be president.
“This oppressive thing they are doing is causing discord in the community. Whatever you do, do it based on the truth.
