 Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has pledged to run an inclusive administration in partnership with Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso if elected president in the 2027 general election. Obi made the declaration on Saturday at the NDC national convention in Abuja, where he formally unveiled Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano State, as his vice-presidential running mate. The former Labour Party presidential candidate said his administration would depart from the traditional structure in which vice presidents play limited roles, stressing that Kwankwaso would be an active partner in governance. “The government we intend to form will no longer be a government where anybody will say that the vice president is a spare tyre,” Obi said.

 PDP Caucus Leader Condemns Police Blockade of Convention Venue, Calls It Threat to Democracy The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caucus Leader in the House of Representatives, Fred Agbedi, has condemned the alleged blockade of the party’s convention venue by the Nigeria Police, describing the action as an attack on democratic principles. Speaking during a television interview on Sunday, Agbedi expressed concern over the incident, which occurred ahead of a convention convened by the Taminu Turaki-led faction of the PDP to ratify former President Goodluck Jonathan as its presidential candidate.

He added that despite what he described as an attempt to restri...
