Our presidential candidate loves Igbo so much – NNPP says

Boniface Aniebonam, founder and chairman, board of trustees of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), says Rabiu Kwankwaso, the party’s presidential candidate, loves the Igbo.

Aniebonam spoke in Lagos on Tuesday at a meeting with stakeholders in the maritime sector organised by Prime Maritime Project (PMP).

TheCable Newspaper reports that, Aniebonam said part of NNPP’s major focus would be the maritime sector “where Igbos are the majority”.

According to him, a huge number of Igbo are into import and export of goods and services in the maritime industry, hence, the need to support the NNPP presidential candidate.

“My presidential candidate loves Igbo so much. With Kwankwaso, a lot of issues will be resolved,” Aniebonam said.

He said NNPP has been working quietly and setting up structures to create a new order in the maritime sector and the country.

Aniebonam urged the stakeholders to be part of the journey that will lead to the emergence of a new Nigeria.

“It is time for a new order in the maritime sector. We have a presidential candidate that does not have any baggage,” he said.

“We have a child of God to provide leadership in this country.

“We can no longer operate from the outside, we have to operate from the inside and we have to work for it.

“Hold me responsible on the implementation of the social contract we are having with stakeholders in the maritime sector.”
