A chieftain of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), Alhaji Aminu Ringim, has said presidential candidate of the party in the 2023 election is the only person capable of filling the void created by former President Muhammadu Buhari’s death in the North.
Since the death of the former president, there have been questions on the politician who is capable of filling the void left behind.
But while addressing newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday, Ringim said Kwankwaso’s efforts on human and infrastructure development when he was the governor of State place him in a good position to fill the void.
He added that the former senator of Kano central is politically at par with late northern leaders including Sir Ahmadu Bello and Alhaji Aminu Kano who fought for the underprivileged.
Ringim argued that Kwankwaso is the closest living politician who exemplifies Aminu Kano’s philosophy of egalitarianism.
Ringim said, “It’s a difficult shoe to wear, no doubt, but if there’s anyone in contemporary Nigerian politics who embodies the trust, humility and mass appeal that Buhari represented, particularly among the talakawa, it is Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso.
“Over the years, Kwankwaso has shown himself to be a deeply grassroots politician. He walks among the people, speaks their language, and understands their yearnings. His commitment to education, youth empowerment and social justice mirrors the same northern populist tradition that Buhari carried on.
“Kwankwaso doesn’t come across as elitist; he remains down-to-earth, accessible and passionate about lifting the poor. That’s why many are already looking to him to take on the mantle of northern leadership in this post-Buhari era.
“From the Kwankwasiyya red cap, which is more than just a symbol, to the emphasis on education, vocational training and discipline, these are Aminu Kano’s tools repurposed for the 21st century.
“And don’t forget, both men rose from Kano’s political soil and both dared to challenge the status quo. Kwankwaso, like Aminu Kano, believes in breaking the class barrier and creating opportunities for the children of the poor to rise. He doesn’t just speak of reform, he implements it, as we saw during his tenure as Kano governor and even as minister of defence.
“What makes him unique is that his appeal cuts across religion, ethnicity, and even class. He’s not just a northern champion, he’s a Nigerian statesman in the making. Remember, he’s held national positions, he’s respected internationally, and he’s remained consistent in his ideology. Just like Ahmadu Bello was seen as the voice of the North and Tafawa Balewa was respected for his simplicity and diplomacy, Kwankwaso stands as a bridge between the old North and a modern progressive future.”
