NDC vice-presidential candidate for 2027 election, Rabiu Kwankwaso
Former Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has explained his decision to run on the same presidential ticket with Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 general elections, saying their partnership is driven by the need for a different approach to governance.
Kwankwaso, who is seeking the vice-presidential ticket alongside Obi on the platform of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, stated this in a statement released on Thursday as political activities ahead of the 2027 elections intensify.
He said Nigeria had reached a critical point, citing the rising cost of food and other essential commodities, unemployment, high business operating costs and insecurity as major challenges confronting citizens.
“As the 2027 presidential campaign officially begins, I call on every Nigerian to reflect deeply on the state of our nation and the kind of country we want to leave for the next generation,” he said.
