Kwankwaso Urges Nigerians to Reject Divisive Politics Ahead of 2027

Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Kano State governor and vice-presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called on Nigerians to reject divisive politics and embrace competent, accountable leadership as campaigns for the 2027 general elections begin.

In a statement posted on his verified X account on Thursday, Kwankwaso urged citizens to reflect on the state of the nation and the future they want for the next generation.

He highlighted rising food prices, unemployment, insecurity, and high business costs as pressing challenges.

“Our farmers need security to return to their farms, our children need safe schools, and every Nigerian deserves to live without fear,” he said, stressing the need for urgent investment in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and stronger institutions.

Kwankwaso emphasized that Nigeria has the people and resources to build a prosperous nation, but requires leadership with competence, courage, and commitment.

He explained that his partnership with Peter Obi on the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket was driven by national interest rather than regional or religious considerations.

“Our partnership is not about region, religion or personal ambition. It is about Nigeria. We believe in a country where government serves the people, where hard work is rewarded and where young people can build successful futures at home,” he stated.

He appealed to youths, women, workers, farmers, entrepreneurs, and professionals to join the movement and demand accountability and results from leaders.

Kwankwaso urged Nigerians to support the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket and other NDC candidates, stressing that the 2027 elections present an opportunity to choose a new direction for the country.

“Let us campaign peacefully, responsibly and with the national interest at heart. Together, we can build a stronger nation, and Nigeria will be ok,” he concluded.
