“Leadership Built on Lies is a Weak Foundation” Kwankwaso Accuses Atiku of Deceit
Rabiu Kwankwaso, the National Leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has criticized the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, accusing him of making false claims even at his advanced age.
Kwankwaso alleged that Atiku lied to Northern clerics and political leaders about a supposed agreement regarding the presidency.
Speaking in an interview with Radio France International’s Hausa Service, Kwankwaso expressed his frustration over the situation.
He said he was disturbed by the information he received, calling it dishonorable for individuals in their 70s or 80s to deceive respected clerics and leaders about events that never occurred.
Kwankwaso emphasized his disbelief, saying he always has reliable sources in such gatherings who keep him informed about the discussions.
According to him, building leadership on a foundation of lies is dangerous, as it undermines trust and sets a fragile precedent for governance.
He further questioned the sincerity of those making such promises, casting doubt on their commitment to serving only one term if given the opportunity.
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
