Rabiu Kwankwaso, a prominent figure within the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has thrown his weight behind the party’s decision to allocate its presidential ticket to the southern region for the 2027 elections. He articulated this support during the party’s national convention, emphasizing that the move facilitates the completion of the South’s turn in steering national leadership. The former governor of Kano State characterized the zoning as a vital step toward genuine national reconciliation. He affirmed his commitment to upholding the party’s agreements to promote equity and federal character across all domains. Kwankwaso remarked, “In a spirit of unity and solidarity, I endorse the zoning of the NDC’s presidential ticket to the South, enabling the region to fulfill its rightful turn in national leadership. This is a chance for national healing. We will adhere to our party’s pact to ensure fairness and federal character in every aspect. The leadership standards we establish will restore Nigeria’s honor and guarantee that all citizens, both at home and abroad, are treated with respect and dignity. To achieve this, we must continue mobilizing people to register with INEC to vote and join the NDC for this noble cause. Register today.”
