Former Governor of Kano State and vice presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Rabiu Kwankwaso, has criticised the newly constituted All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 general election.
In a statement posted on X on Sunday, Mr Kwankwaso said the election is an impending battle between the “oppressed Nigerian masses” and political figures who have sustained policies responsible for widespread economic hardship.
Mr Kwankwaso argued that the composition of the campaign council, which includes key figures associated with the current administration, gives citizens a clear preview of the choices ahead in 2027.
“The council brings together many of the same political actors who have supported, defended or participated in the present administration.
“Their coming together raises a fundamental question: what exactly are they asking Nigerians to vote for in 2027, a new beginning, or the continuation of the same system that has brought severe hardship to our people?” Mr Kwankwaso questioned.
