Obi Picks Kwankwaso As Running Mate
The Peter Obi has chosen former Kano governor Rabiu Kwankwaso as his running mate under the Nigeria Democratic Congress for the 2027 presidential election.
The announcement was made on Saturday during the party’s national convention in Abuja.
Obi said the partnership would be based on shared leadership rather than a senior and subordinate arrangement.
He noted that both candidates would work closely in running the affairs of government if elected.
The NDC presidential flag bearer stressed that his administration would prioritise inclusion and teamwork across regions of the country.
He added that the goal is to build a united leadership structure that reflects Nigeria’s diversity.
The development marks a major step in the party’s preparation for the 2027 election as it positions itself as a new opposition platform seeking broad national support.
