Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, Victor Umeh, has expressed confidence that the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) vice-presidential candidate, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, cannot be defeated in Kano in the 2027 presidential election if the poll is credible.
Umeh stated this on Friday while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he spoke on the NDC’s preparedness for the 2027 general elections.
The senator said the popularity of Kwankwaso in Kano would give the NDC a strong advantage in the state, regardless of the political opposition against him.
‘No matter the noise they make in Kano, nobody can beat Kwankwaso there once the election is credible, transparent, free, and fair. I can bet it.
‘I’m working with him and other leaders of the party very closely. The party is well more prepared to be an opposition party that will contest this election with very credible candidates.
‘Look at what our Rivers State governorship candidate, Dumo Lulu-Briggs, did in Port Harcourt in his first outing. Port Harcourt was shut down.
‘Those people following them in Port Harcourt last week are Nigerians that will vote. Why were they following our presidential candidate, Peter Obi, like Jesus was crossing, and people were marching around him? Something must be motivating and driving the people, the voting population,’ he said.
