2027 Election Will Be Fight Against Oppressors, Says Kwankwaso

Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the Vice-Presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has framed the upcoming 2027 general election as a critical battle between Nigerians and "the oppressors." He called for national unity, urging citizens to transcend political party affiliations to collectively rescue the country.

Kwankwaso made these remarks while receiving a delegation from the Kwankwaso National Network (KNN) in Abuja. The group, focused on mobilizing support for the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket in the South-East, briefed the former Kano State governor on their efforts. Kwankwaso stated that widespread dissatisfaction with the nation's current state has fueled a strong desire for political change.

"It is not about me, it is about us," Kwankwaso was quoted as saying, emphasizing that the 2027 election should be viewed as a decisive choice for Nigeria's future, rather than a mere contest between political parties. He encouraged his supporters to remain committed to the cause beyond the election.

Referencing the recent Osun governorship election, Kwankwaso highlighted that votes can indeed count in 2027 if Nigerians are resolute in defending their mandates. He stressed the importance of resisting electoral fraud and vote-buying, asserting that no immediate personal gain outweighs the nation's future. The South-East delegation pledged to work towards securing at least five million votes for the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket in their region.
