Jigawa NNPP Gubernatorial candidate, Malam Aminu Ibrahim Ringim on Friday evening described his party as the best alternative to Jigawa state, and Nigeria in general.
Malam Aminu Ringim who debunked rumour of his purported compromise of his ambition, declared that he has never “participated in any form of money politics especially one which involves a give-and-take situation as a tool for consensus or antipathy to my party.”
A press statement signed by Ringim in Kano on Friday said “I was shocked and saddened by a rumor going round after receiving some text messages and calls that I withdrew my Jigawa NNPP gubernatorial candidature after being offered ₦2 billion.”

Ringim who was a chief of staff to two former governors of Jigawa state stated that “I want to inform the public that this statement is not true. To set the record straight, since I started politics in 1976 during LGA’s Guidelines Reform, I have never participated in any form of money politics especially one which involves a give-and-take situation as a tool for consensus or antipathy to my party. ”
The signed statement reads in part “As we all know, our party the NNPP is the best alternative to the good people of Jigawa and Nigeria as a whole who are tired and frustrated by the bad governance under the successive PDP and APC regimes.”
The NNPP Gubernatorial candidate revealed that “Under the leadership of Sen. Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, our doors are open for those who wish to join our great party the NNPP, and even those who are interested in vying for political positions are welcomed to join and undergo due assessment. Our party offers a level playing field for all Nigerians devoid of any sentimental or monetary inducements.”
Consequently, Ringim said “I would like to restate my call to the good people of Jigawa State and Nigeria as a whole to register and get their PVCs as it is the only means of fulfilling our constitutional mandate of the right to vote, and way out of our current predicament of bad governance in our dear State and Country.”
