Politicians Should Invest in People Instead of Stealing Public Money - Kwankwaso

Politicians Should Invest in People Instead of Stealing Public Money - Kwankwaso

The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 elections, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has expressed concern over the high level of corruption in governance.

Kwankwaso advised politicians on Thursday, at the inaugural lecture of the incoming governor of Niger State, Umar Mohammed Bago, in Minna, not to rob the treasury but rather to develop people.

The former governor of Kano State stated that the goal of every politician in Nigeria should be to enhance the lives of ordinary Nigerians.

Kwankwaso stated that a lack of competence and knowledge has led to the failure of many governors who, after four or eight years in office, have nothing to show for it.

He said: Money is not everything the intention should be basically to improve the lives of the needy and downtrodden. If you like to sell houses, public buildings, sell churches, or mosques to your friends and family, after you leave office, you will regret it.”

Kwankwaso urged Bago to invest heavily in education and security for the benefit of the nation, adding that the return on the investment in education may not be immediately apparent, but will be realized in the long run.

He added that for Bago to be an effective governor, he must promptly get to work on the socioeconomic development of the state following his inauguration.

In his remark, the governor-elect of Niger State, Mohammed Bago, pledged to surpass the accomplishments of governors whose accomplishments have served as a yardstick for gauging the success of administrations in the North.

In addition to reassuring the people that he will maintain an open-door policy, he assured them that he will elevate the bar in terms of governance.

He said: When I heard some of the discussants say that I should emulate Kwankwaso and El-Rufai in achievements, I just giggled because I will do better.”
