NDC Will Overcome Current Challenges, Says Kwankwaso

ABUJA — Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the vice‑presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), reassured party members that the NDC will surmount its current legal challenges and urged supporters to stay calm and focused as the 2027 general elections approach.

Kwankwaso made the statement on Sunday via a post on his official X account after visiting the party’s National Leader, Senator Seriake Dickson, at his Abuja residence.

He said the visit was part of ongoing efforts to reinforce the party’s unity, resilience and strategic readiness for the upcoming elections.

“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,” he added.

The former Kano State governor emphasized the party’s commitment to the rule of law and expressed confidence in the judicial process, despite the current legal dispute.

“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 stated.

Kwankwaso called on party members, supporters and Nigerians to remain steadfast, expressing optimism that the party would emerge stronger from the challenge.

“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,” he said.

“Nigeria will be OK,” he added.

The visit comes as the NDC continues its legal efforts to contest a recent Federal High Court ruling that affects the party, with leadership affirming its commitment to pursuing all available legal remedies.
