NNPP Warns Tinubu of 2027 Defeat Over Economic Policies

The Kano State Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Hashimu Dungurawa, has issued a stern warning to President Bola Tinubu, predicting an overwhelming defeat for him in the 2027 general elections due to what he described as anti-masses policies.

Dungurawa, speaking to journalists in Kano on Thursday, criticized the administration’s economic measures, claiming they have inflicted significant hardship on Nigerians. He expressed confidence in the NNPP’s prospects, asserting that the party is poised to win in all 36 states and secure the presidency in the next election.

“With your unfriendly anti-masses policies and your stance, just prepare for defeat in the next general election. You either change them or Nigerians will collectively change you,” Dungurawa stated.

Recalling Tinubu’s inauguration on May 29, 2023, the NNPP chairman accused the president of implementing harsh policies from day one.

“From the podium on May 29, 2023, President Tinubu started reeling out anti-masses policies as if Nigerians had stepped on his toes. He kept slamming unfriendly policies on us, even up till today,” he said.

Dungurawa further emphasized that these challenges have galvanized the NNPP to work harder for the 2027 elections. “With these challenges and many more deliberately created by the All Progressives Congress-led government, it is just a matter of time as we will certainly ensure Tinubu is out in 2027 and Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, a true democrat, steps in,” he declared.

The NNPP chairman highlighted the party’s growing presence nationwide, noting that offices and structures have been established in all states and local government areas. He also pointed to successes achieved in 2024, which he said set the stage for greater accomplishments in 2025.

“You are all living witnesses that we are lucky to have a God-fearing governor, who has restructured Kano State in terms of infrastructure, empowerment, and human development. Kano can now compete favourably with any modern city globally, especially with the state-of-the-art facilities made available in the metropolitan and rural areas,” Dungurawa added.

However, he expressed concern over what he described as an alleged attempt by the Federal Government to impose a one-party system in Nigeria. He urged the government to prioritize people-centered policies to ease the suffering of the masses.

Addressing rumors about NNPP’s national leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, returning to the APC, Dungurawa dismissed them as baseless.

“The rumour was fabricated to tarnish Kwankwaso’s reputation and towering popularity,” he said.

Dungurawa concluded by reiterating the NNPP’s commitment to providing a viable alternative for Nigerians and ensuring a better future under Kwankwaso’s leadership.
