Lagos (Nigeria): Dr Boniface Aniebonam, Founder of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has congratulated Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso, the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, ahead of his 69th birthday on Oct. 21.
This is contained in a goodwill message by Aniebonam on Saturday in Lagos.
“I wish Kwankwaso, whom I often called my younger brother due to our age difference, long life and more fulfilled years as he celebrates his 69th birthday,” he said.
Aniebonam described Kwankwaso as a man with a strong-willed personality, whose entrance into NNPP became eventful for the party.
‘Politics is totally different from private life. And in politics, there is no permanent enemy or friend.
“I found Kwankwaso an engaging personality, but there is always a reason why people meet or the Almighty arranges part ways in life, and those reasons.
“While we continue to disagree on NNPP leadership, I shall continue to wish the former Kano state governor success in all his life’s endeavours.
“It is my hope and belief that his 69th birthday celebration shall be a good time for him to reflect more on life and human endeavours.”
Aniebonam explained that his best wishes for the former NNPP scribe are untainted and from his heart, describing the disagreement on politics and NNPP as transient.
“Life is larger than a political party. I am not one to take political issues beyond politics. Humanity, kindness, compassion and friendship always come first for me,” he stressed.
Aniebonam prayed that the Almighty God continue to guide, guard and protect Kwankwaso and grant him his innermost heart’s desires.
” Once again, many happy returns to my younger brother, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso,” the NNPP chieftain added.
