The camp of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has clarified a statement made by the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, regarding the 2027 election......Read The Full Article>>.....Read The Full Article>>
Kwankwaso was quoted as saying he would win the 2027 election.
“I wish to remind you that PDP is dead because we left the party. Since they have gone out of the line, we decided to check out,” he had said.
However, Atiku’s Special Adviser, Abdul Rasheeth, claims he was misquoted.
Rasheeth stated that Kwankwaso, in an interview conducted in Hausa, did not mention winning the 2027 presidential election. Instead, Kwankwaso expressed his commitment to ending the All Progressives Congress (APC) government in 2027.
“It’s important to note that Kwankwaso was clearly misquoted in that video. Nowhere did he mention winning the 2027 Presidential Election. I still believe he is one of the strong politicians who has Nigeria at heart and would be part of any arrangement to end the APC’s bad governance,” Rasheeth wrote on social media.
He called on followers of Kwankwaso to unite with supporters of Atiku to ensure APC’s removal in 2027.
The clarification comes after Kwankwaso’s statement sparked a reaction from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leadership, with National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba describing Kwankwaso as a “failed and inconsequential politician.”
