He said:

“Who is afraid of the NNPP Presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso. The whole issue is that over the past three months people are just insisting that he was going to hand off his ambition to APC or PDP or they would say he has an issue in Kogi where there was known or they would go and close our office in Borno State for no reason or they would go to Kano to take Senator Shekarau thinking that they have depleted the party.
“In fact, they are making him better and bigger. All these they are doing, the question is who is afraid of Kwankwaso.
“Only recently they said NNPP is nothing but now they are running helter-skelter to see how to stop NNPP and to stop Kwankwaso. Having tried every way to find something against our Presidential candidate and they couldn’t they have resort to wooing and reckless propaganda.”
