2027: NDC awaits Obi, Kwankwaso’s picks for campaign council

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has given presidential candidate Peter Obi and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, the authority to appoint key members of the party's presidential campaign council ahead of the 2027 elections. The party's National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, announced that the duo would nominate officials such as the director-general, deputy director-general (North), campaign spokesman, and finance director.

The NDC stated that this arrangement was designed to promote inclusiveness and cohesion in the campaign structure, and the organogram of the council had been prepared since August. The inauguration of the council was initially scheduled for the first week of September but has been postponed due to Peter Obi's travel schedule.
