The Vice Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Rabiu Kwankwaso, along with Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, and Personal Assistant to the President on Radio and Broadcast (Office of the Vice President), Hajya Rahma Abdulmajid, have warned against breaking the existing rotational arrangement between the North and the South in the 2027 presidential election.
They argue that allowing the South to complete its eight-year tenure is necessary for national stability, reciprocity, and peaceful coexistence. Kwankwaso specifically urged Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), not to disrupt the zoning system by contesting, urging him to support Peter Obi from the South to complete the remaining tenure.
