'It’s the turn of the South in 2027' – Kwankwaso tells ADC

Rabiu Kwankwaso, the vice presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has cautioned the African Democratic Congress (ADC) against nominating a Northern candidate for the 2027 presidential election. The warning came during an interview with journalists at his residence in Kano on Sunday. Kwankwaso, who is a former governor of Kano State, expressed his support for the NDC's presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and stated that the South should have the opportunity to produce the next President in 2027.

He emphasized that it would be unjust for the ADC to give its ticket to a Northern candidate when the South is due its turn. Kwankwaso further advised the ADC to allocate its presidential ticket to the South if it desires victory in the 2027 election, asserting that Nigerians value fairness and equity. Kwankwaso, a Northerner, is the running mate of Obi, a Southerner, on the NDC ticket.
