2027 election between oppressed Nigeria, those responsible for their oppression – Kwankwaso

Nigeria's presidential running mate for the NDC, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has declared that the upcoming 2027 election is a battle between the oppressed Nigerian populace and those accountable for their suffering. In a statement criticizing the APC's Presidential Campaign Council, Kwankwaso questioned whether its members symbolize a fresh start or the perpetuation of hardship for Nigerians.

He noted that the council includes many political actors who have endorsed, defended or taken part in the current administration. Kwankwaso questioned the essence of the council's formation: is it a promise of a new beginning or the perpetuation of the system that has inflicted severe suffering on the Nigerian people? The 2027 election, according to Kwankwaso, is fundamentally a struggle between the oppressed masses and those who have profited, backed, and upheld the system responsible for their suffering.
