Former Vice-president Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic party (PDP), has appealed to electorate to vote for all the candidates of the party in the upcoming general elections.

Abubakar made the call at the grand finale of his presidential campaign rally held in Yola, his ancestral home, at the weekend.

He noted that Nigeria, especially the North East, is underdeveloped, hence the need for them to vote for him to enable him bring rapid socioeconomic development to the area.

“We will provide dividends of democracy throughout the nation,” he promised.

Abubakar assured that if voted into power a lot of development would be recorded in all sectors of the economy.

He appreciated the party stakeholders and urged them to go down to grassroots to sensitise and campaign to the electorate on the imperative of voting him into power.

The flagbearer also solicited the electorate in the state to give him the highest votes, considering the fact that he is their son.

Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State and the Director General of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) thanked all stakeholders for their support and cooperation, which made the occassion a huge success.

He said that Abubakar, who defeated 18 candidates at primaries, is the right candidate to become the next president of Nigeria.

According to him, if elected, Atiku will reunify the country.

“The difference is clear that Atiku is the right president that can lead the country in a united manner.

“So come out enmasse on Feb. 25 to vote for Atiku and other candidates of the party,” he urged.

Gov. Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom, the Chairman of PDP PCC, urged Nigerians to not to miss the opportunity of voting Abubakar as the next president of Nigeria.

He said the campaign train had traversed the 36 states of Nigeria and if the party was voted into power it would restructure the country and create employment opportunities, provide quality education, healthcare service delivery and security, among others.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the event attracted hundred thousands of party loyalists, well wishers and friends, state governors and former ministers, among others. (NAN)

2027: NDC fixes October 20 for Campaign Council inauguration, Presentation of Certificates of Return

By Myke Uzendu, Abuja  The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has fixed October 20, 2026, for the inauguration of its Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), presentation of Certificates of Return to its candidates for the 2027 general elections and a strategic dinner for candidates contesting various elective positions.  The party also disclosed that its presidential and vice-presidential candidates, Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, respectively, would participate in consultations to determine key appointments in the campaign council.  National Chairman of the NDC, Senator Moses Cleopas Zuwoghe, announced this on Saturday at a press conference at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.  He said the campaign council’s organisational structure and timetable had been ready since the end of August, but its inauguration was being delayed to allow Obi and Kwankwaso to conclude consultations and recommend nominees for strategic positions.  According to him, the activities scheduled for October 20 would follow a meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC), where key decisions concerning preparations for the 2027 elections are expected to be considered and ratified.  Cleopas said the delay did not indicate inactivity or internal division, explaining that the party was committed to establishing a properly constituted campaign structure capable of coordinating its nationwide electoral activities.  He added that appointments would reflect national spread, competence, capacity and the ability of nominees to contribute meaningfully to the campaign.  The NDC chairman disclosed that Obi and Kwankwaso were expected to recommend nominees for several strategic positions in the Presidential Campaign Council, including Director-General, Deputy Director-General, campaign spokesperson, Director of Social Media and Financial Controller.  The candidates are also expected to nominate two additional officers who, alongside the party’s National Treasurer, will oversee the campaign council’s separate and dedicated bank account.  Cleopas said the arrangement was intended to ensure that the presidential and vice-presidential candidates were actively involved in decisions affecting the organisation, financing and direction of their campaign.  He maintained that the party leadership, the candidates and the National Leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, were united in their preparations for the 2027 elections.  The chairman said the campaign council would be formally announced after the national leadership received the candidates’ nominations and recommendations.  He argued that constituting the council without the active participation of the presidential candidate and his running mate would be inappropriate, given their central roles in the presidential contest. Cleopas also dismissed reports suggesting that the party was divided or struggling to organise itself ahead of the 2027 elections.  He said the press conference was partly convened to address concerns raised by party members, supporters and Nigerians over the apparent delay in establishing the presidential campaign structure.  The chairman maintained that the National Working Committee (NWC), NEC, National Leader and party structures at the state, local government and ward levels remained committed to the party’s candidates.  He equally rejected suggestions that Dickson was working with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to undermine the NDC presidential ticket.  Questioning the basis of the allegation, Cleopas said it would have been easier for Dickson to join the APC than to undertake the more demanding process of establishing and registering a political party if his objective had been to work for the ruling party.  He urged journalists to exercise caution in reporting political allegations and speculation, warning that misinformation could create unnecessary distrust and mislead the electorate. ...
