PDP Considers Top Northern Politicians for Vice Presidential Candidate

The battle for the presidential ticket in Nigeria's opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), for the 2027 election has begun. With the presidential ticket zoned to the south, the vice-presidential slot is expected to go to a candidate from the north.

Three top politicians from northern Nigeria are being considered for the vice-presidential candidacy, including Mohammed, a governor from Bauchi state, Dankwambo, a former governor and senator, and Gbenga, a key PDP member. These politicians are seen as potential candidates due to their political experience, credibility, and loyalty to the party, which could provide stability and strength to the PDP in the upcoming election.
