Kwankwaso issues strong challenge ahead of 2027

Kwankwaso took a strong stance against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), referring to it as "dead" following his exit from the party.

“I wish to remind you that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is already dead, because we were in the party, since they have gone out of the line, we decided to check out,” he was qouted.

He called on party leaders to increase their commitment, commending the efforts of stakeholders for their role in renovating the state secretariat in preparation for future success.

Highlighting his concern for the welfare of citizens, Kwankwaso pledged support for a young boy, Abubakar Ibrahim, who is suffering from severe acute malnutrition in Katsina’s Yammawa area.

A day is a long time in politics

Public analyst Chidi Chinedu weighed in on the 2027 presidential election, noting that it is still too early to predict outcomes.

He told Legit.ng:

“The 2027 election is still too far off. Like they say in politics, a day is a long time. So, many things will happen between now and 2027 to determine who wins. What can, however, be said right now is that it appears the dominant sentiment of the people is against the president because of the prevailing cost of living crisis and the seeming lack of capacity or responsiveness of the government. It is important to always remember that election is math. President Tinubu won the 2023 election even though more Nigerians voted against him than for him. He won because the opposition was divided. Therefore, to assume that he would lose simply because the majority may be against him may be a deeply flawed assumption. So much will depend on the opposition.”
