Kwankwaso's Lagos Visit Sparks Mixed Reactions Among Voters
On November 6, 2026, Lagos State electorate reacted to the visit of Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the Vice Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democrat (NDC), asserting he does not pose a threat to President Bola Tinubu. Kwankwaso visited Ilepo and Kontagora Market in Alimosho Local Government Area alongside NDC gubernatorial candidate Funso Doherty.
His visit sparked political discussions due to his running mate status with Peter Obi, who garnered 582,454 votes in Lagos during the 2023 presidential election, narrowly losing to Tinubu, who received 572,606 votes. Local traders expressed mixed sentiments; while some praised Kwankwaso's leadership, others emphasized their support for the APC and the current government.
Respondents noted the changing political dynamics in Lagos and expressed hopes for a fair election in 2027, suggesting that if intimidation and violence are absent, Kwankwaso and Obi could defeat Tinubu and the APC again.
