THE presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has taken his search for economic prosperity in the West African sub-region to the Republic of Niger.
He told his hosts and the Nigerian community that he would make the nation’s foreign policy centre on security, governance, technology transfer and economic diplomacy.
A statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by the Spokesperson of the Kwankwaso/NNPP Presidential Campaign Council, Ladipo Johnson, said the political pilgrimage was “in continuation of his consultations, especially his Afro-centred foreign policy initiatives if given the mandate by Nigerians.”
Kwankwaso also paid a courtesy visit to the President of Niger Republic, His Excellency, Mohamed Bazoum, where he interacted with some members of the Nigerian community.
He also visited the immediate-past President of the Niger Republic, His Excellency, Mahamadou Issoufou.
“With the elections fast approaching, Senator Kwankwaso has continued to emphasize that his in-coming NNPP administration shall make Nigeria’s foreign policy centred on security, governance, technology transfer, and economic diplomacy,” the statement said.
