Alhaji Hashimu Dungurawa, chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Kano State, has stated that naysayers cannot block the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Dungurawa claimed those battling Kwankwaso were behind rumors that he is being probed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, or EFCC.
According to reports, the anti-graft bureau is investigating Kwankwaso for an alleged N2.5 billion scam.
However, addressing journalists in Kano, the NNPP chieftain described the reports as lies, stressing that Kwankwaso is a man of integrity and capacity.
He said: “We have been seeing this kind of rumour several times on different occasions.
“Let them continue with the rumour. Whether they like it or not, Kwankwaso remains the only person with integrity, respect, popularity, and capacity to govern this country.
“The rumour came from an enemy, shared by ignorance, and accepted by a fool. Thank God that we are not all three. We are his lovers, we are not ignorant of his doing, and we are not fools.
“All these will not stop his destiny. But they should be mindful that rumours don’t add any value; instead, they will generate popularity for him.”
