2027: Kaduna Assembly NDC candidate urges unity for Obi-Kwankwaso ticket

Kawo Constituency, a candidate for the Kaduna State House of Assembly from the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has urged fellow party members, supporters, and contestants to unite in support of the party's presidential ticket led by Peter Obi and Samiu Kwankwaso. Yunusa Salisu, officially nominated by electoral authorities on August 29, 2026, expressed gratitude to his supporters and party leaders for his selection.

He emphasized that his nomination is a significant step in his political career and an opportunity to serve the people of Kawo Constituency. Salisu clarified that his election should not be viewed as a triumph over other candidates but a shared endeavor to support the Obi/Kwankwaso ticket and achieve a larger political goal. He called for mutual respect and cooperation among NDC members and supporters, stressing that the 2027 election would hinge on unity and grassroots mobilization.

The candidate emphasized that the youth in Kawo Constituency should actively participate in the electoral process and rally their communities. He expressed gratitude to his family, supporters, and party stakeholders for his nomination, acknowledging it as a responsibility to fulfill the confidence placed in him by the party and voters.

Amidst opposition parties' preparations for the 2027 general elections, Salisu's call for support for the Obi/Kwankwaso ticket comes as they seek to avoid past divisions and strengthen their support base. The NDC is part of ongoing discussions on cooperation among opposition parties, including the G100-led initiative for broader collaboration.

The Kawo candidate now directs attention to mobilization efforts, aiming to convert the party's message of service into a grassroots campaign to win voter confidence.
