As the nation grapples with various security challenges across the country, a former governor of Kano State and a founding member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso is urging the Federal Government to make the protection of lives and properties a priority.
Kwankwaso spoke after the NNPP national convention in Abuja on Friday, expressing concern over the rising spate of kidnappings, banditry, and other security challenges facing the country.

“So many people have been chased out of their homes. Some are in the bushes now; in the forest, under the care of bandits and other criminals, and it looks like many people don’t care,” the NNPP presidential candidate in the 2023 election said.
“It is even becoming a normal thing to go and pick people in their homes or the roads; in the market and so on. I believe it is only in this country that this sort of nonsense is happening.”
During the convention, the party also elected new executives for the NNPP, calling on the government to make education the right of the people.
