In a surprising and unprecedented move, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso - Governor of Kano State, Nigeria’s former Minister of Defence, member of the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), parliamentarian, and a 2023 Nigerian presidential candidate - has launched a Solana-based memecoin called $PRESIDENT.
While no mainstream media coverage or press conference has yet announced the launch, sharp-eyed users discovered a verified link on Kwankwaso’s official Twitter-X profile. This is the only confirmed source of information about the memecoin, and any other links should be treated with caution. With over 583,000 followers, Kwankwaso's verified account serves as the sole trusted channel for updates related to the project.
The $PRESIDENT token is already trading on pump.fun, a well-known Solana-based memecoin launchpad that has recently become the go-to platform for viral grassroots tokens. Despite the project’s low profile, the token page itself outlines a strategic roadmap tied directly to its market capitalization milestones:
At a $10 million market cap, will make an official announcement via his Twitter account.
At $100 million, the campaign plans to reveal an AI tool aimed at improving life for ordinary Nigerians.
At $250 million, an official listing on Tier-1 centralized exchanges will be announced.
At $500 million, the launch of a P2P platform (President”) is planned, alongside collaboration with World Liberty Financial and integration into the $TRUMP ecosystem.
Currently, $PRESIDENT is trading at under $50,000 market cap, making this one of the most exciting early-stage opportunities in the crypto space—not just in Nigeria, but globally. The token's design is based on fairness and transparency: only 5% of the total supply has been minted by the Kwankwaso team, while the rest is open for public trading.
This marks a historic first: is the only Nigerian political figure to have personally launched a crypto project. While many governments across Africa have been hesitant or outright hostile toward blockchain, Kwankwaso appears to be embracing Web3, signaling a technologically progressive vision for the country—especially in contrast to current President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose administration has shown little to no innovation in the crypto space.
For many Nigerians, represents more than just a memecoin—it’s a symbol of financial hope. Kwankwaso seems intent on giving the public an opportunity to invest early before major announcements cause mass awareness and potential price surges. If the token reaches even its first milestone, early holders stand to see exponential gains.
With a rapidly growing number of users discovering the project each day, the window for early adoption is closing fast. Anyone interested in supporting a “New Nigeria” driven by blockchain, financial inclusion, and decentralization, should act quickly.
$PRESIDENT is live now at pump.fun, and updates can be found exclusively through Kwankwaso’s verified X account
Buy early. Stay ahead. New Nigeria is possible.
