Chuks Okocha in Abuja The Vice Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) control of more than 30 states
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the Vice Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has warned that the All Progressives Congress (APC) controlling over 30 states does not guarantee President Bola Tinubu's victory in the 2027 election. Former Kano State governor, Kwankwaso, pointed out that Jonathan, the sitting president at the time, lost the 2015 election despite the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) controlling about 20 states.
He emphasized that those who believe having numerous governors ensures success are making a significant error. Kwankwaso criticized several governors in northern Nigeria, stating that many have failed to deliver meaningful development and are reluctant to campaign. He argued that many presidential candidates lack the necessary experience to lead the country and cautioned against another costly political mistake in 2027.
NDC governorship candidate for Rivers state, Dumo Lulu-Briggs, commended party members for their commitment and expressed confidence in building a functioning Nigeria.
