Kwankwaso Affirms Commitment to 2027 Presidential Race

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the Vice-Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has firmly ruled out withdrawing from the 2027 presidential race in favor of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) or any other political party. He stated that his joint ticket with Peter Obi remains committed to contesting the election.

Kwankwaso criticized the ADC Presidential Campaign Council for what he termed unnecessary attacks on him, Obi, and the NDC, arguing that opposition parties should focus on presenting their candidates' qualifications rather than engaging in counterproductive exchanges. He emphasized that the NDC will not surrender its candidacy and accused the ADC of attempting to divert attention from its own candidate's qualifications.

Kwankwaso declared that the NDC would not collaborate with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) nor withdraw its presidential ticket for the ADC, asserting confidence in their capacity to lead Nigeria. He cautioned supporters against being misled by claims of a potential withdrawal.
