Umeh Declares Kwankwaso Unbeatable in Kano for 2027

On September 12, 2026, Victor Umeh, the lawmaker representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, asserted that Rabi’u Kwankwaso, the vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), is unbeatable in Kano State for the upcoming 2027 general elections. During an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Umeh expressed confidence that no candidate could defeat Kwankwaso if the election is conducted in a credible, transparent, free, and fair manner.

He stated, “I can bet it,” and mentioned his close collaboration with Kwankwaso and other party leaders in preparation for the elections. Umeh also referenced the NDC's strong positioning as an opposition party with credible candidates, citing the significant turnout for their Rivers State governorship candidate, Dumo Lulu-Briggs, in Port Harcourt.

He noted the enthusiasm of voters who followed their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, indicating a strong motivation among the electorate.
