Nigeria: 2027 - Kwankwaso Knocks APC Campaign Council, Says Election Choice Between Oppressors, Oppressed
Kwankwaso says the campaign council’s makeup shows continuity of policies that have deepened hardship, and he questions the neutrality of senior finance officials in partisan roles.
- On Sunday, NDC vice-presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso criticized the newly constituted All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, framing the 2027 election as an impending battle between "oppressed Nigerian masses" and political figures responsible for widespread economic hardship.
