National Chairman of the National Rescue Movement (NRM), Senator Sa’idu Dansadau has said that the party will not field any politician considered to have stolen Nigerian money in the past to contest the 2019 elections.
Senator Dansadau, who was addressing supporters of the party in Kano today, Saturday asked Nigerians not to vote for corrupt politicians in the general elections in 2019.
According to him, there is need for Nigerians to avoid politicians who do not have the interest of the country at heart but are only interested in amassing public funds through corrupt practices.
He said that any politician or political office holder found to have stolen N1 billion should be considered as an insane because no sensible person will steal such a huge amount of money and claim to be a leader.
He called on Kano people to embrace the new party in view of its good policies and programmes that are meant to improve the living standard of Nigerians, especially the common man.
“Kano people should lead other Nigerians in accepting and embracing the party. Only people who have strong faith in God will embrace NPM.“
The National Chairman said that the party would give priority attention to youths in view of the fact that, if given the necessary mentorship, they would take the country to great heights.
He expressed appreciation over the large turnout of the party members at the meeting despite the short notice and commended them for propagating the ideals of the party in the state.
He said the essence of the visit was to meet with traditional rulers, religious and community leaders as well as other stakeholders to explain the ideals of the party.
