NDC Prepares for 2027 Elections as Tinubu's Campaign Gains Momentum

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has ramped up its preparations for the 2027 general elections by inaugurating its new national secretariat and the National Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja. This follows the party's Third National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, where presidential candidate Peter Obi pledged to combat corruption and address issues like insecurity, poverty, and unemployment.

He promised measurable improvements in governance from the start of an NDC administration, emphasizing the need for a fundamental change in leadership. NDC National Chairman Senator Moses Cleopas urged candidates to view their nominations as a responsibility to the electorate.

Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC), led by Senator Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara West), is committed to securing the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in January 2027. Yari, speaking from Mecca, highlighted Tinubu's faith and performance record as key factors in winning voter support.

The APC also released a supplementary list of appointments for the campaign council, including notable figures like Tanko Al-Maku and Yahaya Bello.
