2027: Quit presidential race, back us – Kwankwaso tells Atiku

The Vice Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, has asked the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar to quit his 2027 presidential ambition and support the NDC.

Kwankwaso made this appeal on Thursday while receiving members of the Fulani Farmers Association at his Abuja residence.

He asked Atiku to step down for the NDC ticket, pledging that he would be taken care of if the party wins the presidency.

“Step down for us; if we win, we will take care of you,” Kwankwaso said.

This came following persistent efforts by opposition politicians to unite against President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 general election.

DAILY POST reports that the former Vice President is one of the major opposition figures seeking the presidency.

Recall that Kwankwaso and the NDC presidential, Peter Obi dumped the ADC for the NDC in May, citing internal divisions and court cases.
