2027 Election Sh*ckwave: Kwankwaso Named The Only Credible Contender By Ex-VP Candidate

Former vice-presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), Isaac Idahosa, has described ex-Kano State governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, as the leader who “mentored and shaped him politically.”

Idahosa, who was Kwankwaso’s running mate in the 2023 presidential election, expressed confidence that the NNPP leader would emerge victorious in the 2027 presidential race.

Speaking during the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja on Thursday, Idahosa emphasized Kwankwaso’s central role in Nigerian politics and the credibility he brings to the NNPP.

“First and foremost, I congratulate our national leader, our navigator, our pathfinder—the man who groomed me politically—His Excellency, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso,” he declared.

He noted that the party’s recent success in clinching a House of Representatives seat during the by-elections was proof of its growing strength under Kwankwaso’s leadership.

Idahosa maintained that Nigerians now look up to Kwankwaso for direction, describing him as the “only credible alternative” who can restore hope, equity, and justice to the nation.

“The credibility, integrity, capacity, and political sagacity of my boss are what make NNPP stand out today. Nigerians are waiting for him to take his rightful place in leadership,” he said.

He added that, in his view, Nigeria only has two political parties—the NNPP and all others.
