Kwankwaso rejects NDC withdrawal in favour of ADC in 2027

Rabiu Kwankwaso, vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, has called on the African Democratic Congress to respond to allegations against its candidate rather than attack Peter Obi and himself. He says his party will not withdraw from the 2027 presidential election in favour of the ADC or any other party, according to a statement posted on X.

Rabiu Kwankwaso, vice-presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2027 election, has rejected attacks by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition against him and his running mate, Peter Obi. He called on the ADC to focus on allegations made against its presidential candidate by Nigerian Vice-President Kashim Shettima, according to the Daily Post.

In a message posted on X on Sunday, Kwankwaso accused the ADC Presidential Campaign Council of seeking to portray the NDC ticket as working for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He described the attacks against him and Obi as unnecessary, ahead of the 2027 general election.
