2027: We’re not working for APC – Kwankwaso

The Vice Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Rabiu Musa, has dismissed speculations that the party may withdraw from the presidential race in favour of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of 2027 presidential election. He insisted that the NDC ticket remains in the contest and is confident of victory. […]

The NDC's running mate for the 2027 presidential election, Senator Rabiu Musa, has firmly denied any rumors that his party might abandon the presidential race and join forces with the ADC ahead of the election. In an official statement on his Facebook page, Kwankwaso affirmed that the NDC ticket is still in contention for the presidency and is optimistic about their chances of winning.

He criticized the ADC's campaign team for focusing on attacking the NDC's presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the party itself rather than promoting their own candidate, Kabiru Shettima, to the Nigerian electorate. Kwankwaso insisted that the NDC's claims of aligning with the APC or switching allegiance to the ADC are entirely unfounded and intended to mislead voters.

He stated unequivocally that the NDC will not withdraw their candidature for the Vice Presidency or any other political party. The NDC candidate, who served as the Governor of Kano State, emphasized that the party's presidential ticket is dedicated to addressing critical issues facing the nation, including security, education, agriculture, infrastructure, healthcare, and the economy.

Kwankwaso urged his supporters to continue backing the NDC and maintain their focus on securing a victory in the upcoming election.
