ADC Campaign Council Rebukes Kwankwaso's Call for Atiku to Withdraw
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council condemned Rabiu Kwankwaso, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) vice-presidential candidate, for suggesting that Atiku Abubakar should step down from the 2027 presidential race. Kwankwaso made this call during an interview on Channel Television, urging Fulani groups to persuade Atiku to withdraw.
Kola Ologbondiyan, the Director of Media and Publicity for the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, described Kwankwaso's remarks as reckless and a desperate attempt to advance President Bola Tinubu's political interests. Ologbondiyan accused Kwankwaso of lacking genuine commitment to the opposition's goal of defeating Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He pointed out that Kwankwaso's support for Peter Obi appeared driven by personal ambition rather than a collective opposition effort. Ologbondiyan emphasized Atiku's extensive political relationships and invited Kwankwaso to reconsider his stance and support Atiku's candidacy as a means to defeat Tinubu.
