NDC's Abdulkarim Urges Atiku to Support Coalition Efforts

Ibrahim Abdulkarim, the Director-General of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) Presidential Campaign Council, called on Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), to drop his ambition and support the NDC. Abdulkarim stressed that opposition leaders must unite to enhance their chances against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He cited the collaboration between NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi and his running mate Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as a successful example of opposition unity. Abdulkarim stated that the coalition could be formed under the NDC rather than the ADC, inviting Atiku and other opposition figures to join.

He addressed concerns about the NDC's campaign structures, asserting that the party has numerous support groups and is prepared to protect votes in the upcoming 2027 elections. Abdulkarim assured voters that the NDC would conduct a peaceful campaign and implement measures to ensure their votes count.
