The Vice Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, has urged the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to drop his 2027 presidential bid and back the NDC instead.
Kwankwaso made this appeal on Thursday while receiving members of the Fulani Farmers Association at his Abuja residence.
He asked Atiku to step down for the NDC ticket, pledging that he would be taken care of if the party wins the presidency.
“Step down for us; if we win, we will take care of you,” Kwankwaso said.
This came following persistent efforts by opposition politicians to unite against President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 general election.
The former Vice President is one of the major opposition figures seeking the presidency.
Kwankwaso and the NDC presidential, Peter Obi had dumped the ADC for the NDC in May, citing internal divisions and court cases.
