The Vice-Presidential Candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabiu Kwankwaso has criticised the composition of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 election and urged its Director-General, Abdul’aziz Yari, to reconsider his role.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Kwankwaso said the council is largely made up of political figures associated with the current administration. He questioned what the ruling party intends to offer Nigerians ahead of the next general election.
According to him, the country continues to face economic hardship, insecurity, unemployment and mounting pressure on essential public services. He said voters would have to decide whether to continue with the present administration or support an alternative vision.
Kwankwaso specifically appealed to Yari, a former governor of Zamfara State, to reflect on the challenges facing citizens, particularly in the North-West, before leading a campaign for another term for the current government.
The NDC chieftain also expressed concern over the reported involvement of senior public officials in the APC campaign structure. He warned that such participation could affect public confidence in the neutrality of key government institutions.
Calling for accountability and people-focused leadership, Kwankwaso urged Nigerians to make informed choices in the 2027 elections and support leaders committed to addressing the nation’s pressing challenges.
