Kwankwaso Dismisses ADC's Atiku as Alternative to Tinubu

Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the running mate to Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has firmly ruled out any possibility of the NDC withdrawing its presidential ticket in favor of Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Kwankwaso criticized the ADC's claims of being a credible alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), asserting that while the Tinubu administration has failed Nigerians, Atiku's party does not provide a better option.

He expressed concern over the ADC's campaign strategy, which he believes has focused more on attacking him and Obi rather than promoting their own candidate. Kwankwaso emphasized that there is no arrangement for Obi to withdraw in favor of Atiku and urged the ADC to concentrate on defending Atiku against allegations made by Vice-President Kashim Shettima.

He reiterated the NDC's commitment to the presidential race and their confidence in their ability to lead Nigeria.
