The Vice Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has called out the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over what he described as unnecessary attacks and mischief against his party.
In a statement on Sunday, Kwankwaso said he has noted with deep concern the conduct of the ADC campaign team, particularly the attacks directed at him, the NDC presidential candidate, His Excellency Peter Obi, and the party.
According to him, rather than focusing on presenting the competence, credibility and capacity of their own candidate, the ADC Presidential Campaign Council appears intent on creating mischief against the NDC ticket.
He accused the ADC-PCC of attempting to portray the NDC as working for the ruling party and peddling rumours that the party may withdraw from the race in favour of the ADC candidate at the last minute.
"Rather than focusing on presenting the competence, credibility, and capacity of their own candidate as we have consistently done by placing our credentials and record of achievements before Nigerians, the ADC Presidential Campaign Council appears intent on creating mischief against our party and ticket," Kwankwaso said.
He added that the ADC-PCC would be better served directing its energy toward rebutting the serious allegations levelled against their candidate by the Vice President, His Excellency Kashim Shettima, instead of targeting him and Peter Obi.
Kwankwaso dismissed claims that the NDC intends to withdraw, stating clearly that the party will not step down for the ADC or any other party.
"We are aware that the ADC-PCC may try to mislead our supporters on the eve of the election by claiming that we intend to withdraw in their favour. Let me state clearly and unequivocally: we will not withdraw our candidature for the ADC or any other party," he declared.
He maintained that the OK ticket is neither working for nor acting on behalf of the APC or any of its candidates, describing such claims as unfounded.
According to Kwankwaso, the APC-led government has failed Nigerians and the ADC offers no better alternative, insisting that the OK ticket presents a credible and viable option backed by proven capacity, a strong track record and broad support across both Northern and Southern Nigeria.
"We believe the NDC remains the most formidable and viable opposition party in the country. I therefore urge all our supporters and well-meaning Nigerians to continue working toward the victory of our great party. Nigeria will be OK," he concluded.
