Obi vows to work closely with Kwankwaso if elected

At a town hall in Enugu, Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi said he would work closely with his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, if elected in 2027. He pledged to prioritize security and declare a state of emergency in education to address the number of out-of-school children. Kwankwaso urged Nigerians to reject ethnic divisions, unite, and cast, protect and track their votes. Senator Victor Umeh called the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket the best choice for president and urged the South-East to unite behind it.
