2027: Kwankwaso Promises Nigerians Inclusive Government Under NDC
The Vice Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has promised that an NDC-led government would prioritise the interests of all Nigerians, irrespective of their political, ethnic, religious or social backgrounds.
Kwankwaso gave the assurance while addressing party leaders, stakeholders and supporters during a reception organised in his honour at Toru-Orua, the country home of former Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson.
The former Kano State governor said Nigeria needed a government that would involve citizens in the formulation and implementation of policies and programmes.
He maintained that governance should be people-oriented and responsive to the needs and aspirations of Nigerians.
Kwankwaso said, “Nigerians deserve a government that will listen to them, accommodate their interests and ensure that no section of the country is left behind.
“An NDC-led Federal Government will be an all-inclusive government that will carry everybody along in its policies and programmes.”
He criticised the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government over what he described as widespread hunger, economic hardship and insecurity across the country.
The NDC vice presidential candidate urged Nigerians to use the 2027 general elections to vote out the ruling party.
He also called on voters to participate actively in the electoral process and protect their votes against alleged attempts to manipulate the outcome of the elections.
“Voting is not enough; Nigerians must also take responsibility for protecting their votes. We must all work together to ensure that the wishes of the people are respected and that the outcome of the elections reflects the collective decision of the electorate,” he said.
Kwankwaso expressed appreciation to Dickson, members of the NDC National Working Committee, the party’s campaign council and supporters in Bayelsa State for the reception.
In his remarks, Dickson criticised the APC-led governments at the federal and state levels over what he described as increasing hardship, insecurity, intimidation and victimisation in Bayelsa State.
He expressed confidence in the Obi-Kwankwaso presidential ticket, describing both politicians as experienced leaders capable of addressing Nigeria’s challenges.
Dickson also urged party members to intensify grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 elections.
