Peter Obi names Kwankwaso as running mate
The presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, has announced former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, as his running mate for the 2027 presidential election.
Obi made the announcement on Saturday shortly after he was officially confirmed as the NDC’s presidential candidate ahead of the general election.
The development comes after the party formally adopted Obi as its flagbearer during its presidential primary.
Obi and Kwankwaso recently defected from the African Democratic Congress to the Nigerian Democratic Congress, citing internal divisions and protracted court cases within their former party.
