2027:Why South Should Be Allowed To Produce NDC Presidential Candidate-Kwankwaso
Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, former governor of Kano State, Alhaji Musa Rabiu Kwankwaso has emphasized the need to allow the southern part of the country to produce the NDC presidential candidate in order to allow the region complete its turn in respect of ‘national leadership’.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Dr Rabiu Kwankwaso, who said this while addressing delegates, supporters and NDC stakeholders at the National Convention of the party in Abuja on Saturday, also lamented that the country is witnessing a sharp decline in the quality of life as insecurity has produced widows and orphans across the land.
‘Millions have been displaced from their homes. Investments are fleeing, critical infrastructure is neglected, the education system is collapsing, and harsh economic policies have been imposed on citizens without meaningful safety nets or relief’ he said.
.The former Kano State governor also went down memory lane to explain and justify his decision to support ‘southern’ presidency.
‘Yet Nigeria’s history teaches us that in our most challenging moments, visionary alliances have provided the way forward. In 1954, a historic partnership was formed between the Northern Elements Progressive Union (NEPU), led by Aminu Kano and the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), led by Nnamdi Azikiwe to achieve national unity.
Again, in 1960, against steep odds, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe’s National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) formed a coalition with the Northern People’s Congress (NPC) to birth our independence.
In the Second Republic, the alliance between Shehu Shagari and Alex Ekwueme under the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) helped restore civilian rule and national unity after years of military dictatorship.
It is therefore with great sense of unity and solidarity, that as a loyal party member, I support the decision to zone the presidential ticket of the NDC to the South, so that it allows the region to complete its turn in producing national leadership’ he said.
Dr Kwankwaso, who left ADC for NDC alongside Mr Peter Obi a few days ago, also asserted that their presence in NDC has made the party gain more members.
‘Since we joined this party, together with numerous stakeholders, millions of supporters, and well-meaning Nigerians, the NDC has continued to attract quality members and ignite enthusiastic conversations among citizens and observers both at home and abroad. What began as a bold movement is steadily becoming a formidable platform for national renewal’ he submitted-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
