In these extracts from his declaration speech, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso explains why he wants to be President on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

I offer positive change. Change has again become inevitable. To live is to witness changes because change is an inseparable part of living. Come May, 2019, the narrative of helplessness, buck-passing, division, poverty, insecurity, and hopelessness must change to turn to a new dawn of confidence in building a one well restructured Nigeria.

I assure you that while I do not have the prophetic power to predict the future, we certainly have in us the ability to create the future that we want.

On this day. as I stand before you I offer you a value based leadership anchored on our National Ethics as outlined in Chapter 2 of Section 23 of our Constitution and I quote:
“The National Ethics shall be Discipline, Integrity, Dignity of Labour, Social Justice, Religious Tolerance. Self-reliance and Patriotism.”

I will provide a leadership where everybody is free and equal; where Nigerians see themselves as Nigerians first and as Ibo, Yoruba, Hausa, ljaw, lbibio, Fulani, etc.

Second; where citizens are self-assured and self-assertive; where they are confident and competent; where they want to do what is right no matter whose ox is gored. I want to lead a Nigeria where people are educated and exposed beyond the confines of their tribe, religion, linguistic group or place of birth.
