Vice presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has expressed confidence that the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, will defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election. Kwankwaso said the NDC enjoys growing support across different parts of the country and predicted that the election would produce surprises in the party’s favour. He made the remarks while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday. According to him, public sentiment in major commercial centres reflects increasing support for the NDC beyond its traditional strongholds. “Go to Wuse Market and Sabon Gari in Kano, and even Ibadan. I’m not even talking about the South-East or South-South,” Kwankwaso said. He expressed optimism that the NDC would emerge victorious in the next presidential election. “You see, this 2027 election, I think a lot of surprises will spring up in favour of the NDC. Yes, we will win,” he added.
