Kwankwaso urges supporters to join NDC for 2027 presidential bid with Obi
Former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso called on all his supporters nationwide to join the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), following his resignation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) due to ongoing leadership conflicts. In a Monday post on his X handle, Kwankwaso stated he and former Anambra Governor Peter Obi are seeking a joint presidential ticket for the 2027 elections to provide Nigerians with a credible platform for growth and democratic participation.
He emphasized their determination to create opportunities for citizens to thrive and realize their full potential, directly appealing to dedicated supporters and well-meaning Nigerians to join the NDC in this renewed fight for good governance. The move signals significant opposition realignment as parties position ahead of the 2027 election cycle, with Kwankwaso's ADC departure highlighting internal struggles within that party.
While the call targets Kwankwaso's existing base, it invites all Nigerians to consider NDC as an alternative political home. Readers should evaluate how this opposition reshaping might affect their political alignments and voting decisions in the upcoming election cycle, particularly regarding the credibility and viability of the proposed Kwankwaso-Obi ticket.
