The Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced former Anambra governor, Peter Obi as its unopposed candidate for the 2027 presidential election, amid growing indications that former Kano governor, Musa Kwankwaso may emerge as his running mate.
The party made the announcement via its official social media platforms, days after Obi and Kwankwaso formally aligned with the opposition coalition ahead of the next general election.
Speaking during an interview on Premier Radio over the weekend, Kwankwaso expressed confidence that he would secure the vice-presidential slot on the party’s ticket, arguing that such a development would eventually pave the way for Kano State to produce Nigeria’s president.
“By God’s grace, the next election will be unlike anything that has ever happened in our state and country, especially if I secure the ticket and my name is on the ballot,” Kwankwaso said.
