Obi and Kwankwaso Join NDC for 2027 Elections

Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso have officially joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the 2027 general elections. This development was confirmed through a Facebook post, highlighting the significance of this step towards building a formidable political platform.

Dickson, the NDC's national leader, expressed a warm welcome to both politicians, emphasizing the goal of creating an ideologically driven party that embodies selfless service to the people. Ongoing high-level negotiations have been confirmed regarding Obi and Kwankwaso's potential roles within the party, including an offer for the presidential ticket.

This move is part of efforts to establish a strong opposition front in light of shifting political dynamics and legal uncertainties. The groundwork for this collaboration has been laid, with expectations for intensified preparations for the 2027 elections, following Obi's previous candidacy in the 2023 presidential election with the Labour Party and Kwankwaso's run with the New Nigeria Peoples Party.
