Monday, August 17, 2026 - The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has hinted that most state governors seeking reelection would be disappointed.
Kwankwaso disclosed that most Nigerians won’t support some
of these state governors seeking reelection in 2027.
Featuring on the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, Personality
Interview Series in Abuja, on Sunday, Kwankwaso cautioned governors
against electoral manipulation and control of state structures to continue
ahead of the 2027 election.
According to Kwankwaso, Nigerians are becoming more
politically conscious and may reject governors and other politicians seeking
another term despite their control of government structures.
“What I foresee in the 2027 elections is that most of the
governors seeking re-election will be disappointed because people will not
support them,” he said.
The former Kano State governor said some governors who had
failed to address the concerns of their constituents were defecting to the
ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, allegedly believing that the party’s
political machinery would secure their re-election.
He argued that growing dissatisfaction with insecurity,
poverty, unemployment and declining public services could influence voters’
decisions at the polls.
