Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed optimism that the party will overcome its ongoing legal issues, asking members and supporters to be calm and devoted ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Kwankwaso provided the guarantee in a post on his official X platform on Sunday, following a courtesy visit to the NDC’s National Leader, Seriake Dickson, at his Abuja residence.
According to the former Kano State governor, the meeting was part of larger conversations aimed at improving party unity, resilience, and strategic planning for the next election cycle.
“Today, I paid a courtesy visit to the National Leader of our party, the NDC, His Excellency Seriake Dickson, at his residence in Abuja,” he wrote.
“The engagement forms part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen the party’s unity, resilience and strategic readiness as we prepare for the 2027 general elections.”
Kwankwaso stated that the party remained fully committed to democratic principles and the rule of law, while expressing confidence in the judicial process despite the legal issues confronting the party.
“As true democrats, we remain committed to the rule of law and have absolute confidence in the judicial process. No temporary setback can weaken the spirit of a movement built on hope, justice, equity, and the collective aspirations of the Nigerian people,” he said.
He further appealed to party faithful, supporters and Nigerians to remain steadfast and optimistic, insisting that the party would emerge stronger from the current situation.
“I urge all party members, supporters, and well-meaning Nigerians to stay calm, resolute, and focused on our shared mission. Together, we will rise above every challenge.
“Nigeria will be OK,” he added.
