Afrocentrism: Kwankwaso Takes Campaign to Niger Republic

The New Nigeria Peoples Party presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has taken his campaign to the Republic of Niger, a West African sub-region, to strengthen ‘afro-centric foreign policy initiative’ if elected as President, a statement read.

Kwankwaso pledged to make the nation’s foreign policy center on security, governance, technology transfer, and economic diplomacy.

A statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by the spokesman of the Kwankwaso/NNPP Presidential Campaign Council, Ladipo Johnson, said the political pilgrimage was “in continuation of his consultations, especially his afro-centric foreign policy initiatives if given the mandate by Nigerians.”

Kwankwaso also paid a courtesy visit to the President of the Niger Republic, Mohamed Bazoum, where he interacted with some members of the Nigerian community.

He also visited the immediate-past President of the Niger Republic, Mahamadou Issoufou.
