The Nigeria Democratic Congress vice-presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has ruled out withdrawing the party’s presidential ticket in favour of the African Democratic Congress or any other party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a statement on his verified Facebook page, Kwankwaso accused the ADC Presidential Campaign Council of making unnecessary attacks against him, the NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the party.

He insisted that the NDC remained confident of its capacity to lead Nigeria, dismissing suggestions that it would step down for the ADC.
