The Presidential Candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party,(NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso has promised that Nigeria will be debt free and every child will go to school if he is elected as president.
He declared this at the Nigeria Election Debate Group, (NEDG), and the Broadcasting Organization of Nigeria, (BON), Presidential debate in Abuja.
Kwankwaso said that the oil subsidy would be removed because it was not favorable for the common man.
“Palliatives will be created to ameliorate the plight of the poor so that it doesn’t create unnecessary hardship.
“I am committed to making Nigeria better. I will do an improved version of what I did in Kano in the nation when I become the president.
“A president must be somebody who is upright and that is the starting point, then it goes to your family, your friends, and people around.
“As long as you are not credible, as long as your hands are soiled, you don’t even have the moral right to say anything because all civil servants will take a cue from you.
“In a situation where resources are coming only halfway and outlet is just there open fo people in the National Assembly, civil service and public service people to take money that is most unfortunate and somebody has to stop it.
“The only way to stop it is having the right caliber of people, debt is unfortunate because people cannot control spending, and its human nature if nobody is keeping eyes on you there is a tendency to steal”.
Kwankwaso reiterated that he would negotiate Nigeria’s debt payment, improve income and ensure that money is going to the right places.
He said this will translate into improved social amenities and infrastructural development.
“I will block all financial leakage and wastage, there is so much money in the country enough to cater for everything.

“Every child will go to school and we will prioritize education and outrageous exam fee will be addressed.
