2027: Leave Peter Obi alone and face Shettima, Kwankwaso fires back at Atiku’s ADC

Rabiu Kwankwaso, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) vice-presidential candidate running alongside Peter Obi, urged the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to answer Vice-President Kashim Shettima’s allegations against its candidate instead of attacking the NDC ticket. He rejected claims that he and Obi were working for the ruling APC and said the NDC would not withdraw from the 2027 presidential race. Kwankwaso criticized both the APC-led government and the ADC, presenting the NDC ticket as an alternative capable of uniting Nigeria and addressing its challenges.
