Newscenter Media News The Kano State Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Hashimu Dungurawa, has sounded the alarm over what he perceives as an attempt by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to transform Nigeria into a one-party state.
He also predicted a resounding defeat for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections, attributing it to policies he described as anti-masses.
Speaking to journalists in Kano on Thursday, Dungurawa accused the APC-led administration of stifling political diversity while imposing economic hardship on Nigerians.
He argued that the NNPP remains committed to challenging the APC’s dominance and restoring democratic balance.
“With your unfriendly anti-masses policies and your stance, just prepare for defeat in the next general election. You either change them or Nigerians will collectively change you,” Dungurawa stated.

Dungurawa highlighted President Tinubu’s inauguration speech on May 29, 2023, as the beginning of what he described as a deliberate assault on Nigerians’ livelihoods.
“From the podium on May 29, 2023, President Tinubu started reeling out anti-masses policies as if Nigerians had stepped on his toes. He kept slamming unfriendly policies on us, even up till today,” he remarked.
The NNPP chairman expressed confidence in his party’s ability to challenge the APC across all 36 states in the next elections.
“With these challenges and many more deliberately created by the All Progressives Congress-led government, it is just a matter of time as we will certainly ensure Tinubu is out in 2027 and Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, a true democrat, steps in,” Dungurawa said.
He lauded Kano State’s NNPP-led government for its achievements, stating, “Kano can now compete favorably with any modern city globally.”
Dungurawa expressed concern over what he described as attempts by the APC to suppress opposition voices and consolidate power, raising fears of a drift toward one-party rule.
“Efforts are being made by the Federal Government to suppress opposition parties and impose a one-party system. This is dangerous for our democracy and for the future of Nigeria,” he warned, calling on the government to prioritize policies that alleviate the suffering of the masses.
Addressing rumors about NNPP’s national leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, returning to the APC, Dungurawa dismissed them as baseless attempts to undermine Kwankwaso’s credibility.
“The rumour was fabricated to tarnish Kwankwaso’s reputation and towering popularity,” he said, reaffirming Kwankwaso’s commitment to the NNPP and its vision for Nigeria.
