The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 election, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso,
Former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has called on his supporters to intensify political mobilisation and be “battle ready” ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Speaking to members of the Kwankwasiyya movement in Hausa, the former Kano State governor emphasised the importance of preparedness to safeguard votes during the elections.

He urged his loyalists to remain at polling units until votes are fully counted, stressing vigilance throughout the electoral process.

Kwankwaso also encouraged supporters to register with his new political platform, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and obtain their voter cards.

He made the remarks on Monday at his Miller Road residence while receiving his ADC membership card, shortly after defecting from the NNPP.

“You must make sure you register… and also complete your voter registration with INEC. You must prepare for the worst-case scenario to defend your votes,” he said, urging full participation in both party membership registration and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voter registration process.

The former senator representing Kano Central further called for aggressive mobilisation to strengthen the ADC’s structure, particularly in Kano State, as part of efforts to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Kwankwaso’s defection comes despite previous reservations about the ADC, citing political differences with some party figures, including Nasir El-Rufai, Atiku Abubakar, and Aminu Tambuwal.

However, he was seen at the event interacting with key party leaders.

Earlier, ADC National Chairman David Mark described Kwankwaso’s entry into the party as a significant development for Nigeria’s democratic space.

Mark said the move reflects growing efforts among opposition leaders to build a united front, adding that it is a response to what he described as increasing pressure on Nigeria’s multiparty system.

“There is no doubt that the ruling party represents a serious threat to multiparty democracy,” Mark said, urging Nigerians to support efforts aimed at preserving democratic participation.

The truth is that most Nigerians are fed up with this Tinubus style of governance. In a free and fair election,even a scarecrow will defeat him in a clean contest.

The momentum against Tinubu will be so strong heading into 2027 that it will be suicidal for anyone to attempt to rig. The election would have been won and lost before the first ballot is cast. Time is a gentleman.

Mrfixitt:
Tinubu must be chased out of power next year. We all sane Nigerians must do our best to achieve that

Richtaiwo:
Yes, that is the wish of every Nigerian: go out, cast your vote, guard it like treasure, and make sure the results are announced before you even think of going home.

But here’s the problem. The the region that set the highest violence record in the 2023 elections was the Southeast. Hope this time around, voters will get to cast and protect their votes without intimidation and violence.
