Vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has expressed confidence that the party will overcome its ongoing legal challenges, assuring members and supporters that its preparations for the 2027 general elections remain on course.
Kwankwaso gave the assurance on Sunday, June 28, through a post on his official X account after paying a courtesy visit to the National Leader of the NDC, Seriake Dickson, at his residence in Abuja.
The former Kano State governor explained that the meeting formed part of ongoing consultations aimed at strengthening the party ahead of the next general election.
“Today, I paid a courtesy visit to the National Leader of our party, the NDC, His Excellency Seriake Dickson, at his residence in Abuja,” he wrote.
“The engagement forms part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen the party’s unity, resilience and strategic readiness as we prepare for the 2027 general elections.”
Kwankwaso said the NDC remained committed to democratic principles and the rule of law despite the legal issues surrounding the party.
He expressed confidence that the courts would resolve the matter fairly.

“As true democrats, we remain committed to the rule of law and have absolute confidence in the judicial process.
“No temporary setback can weaken the spirit of a movement built on hope, justice, equity, and the collective aspirations of the Nigerian people,” he said.
Kwankwaso also urged party members and supporters not to lose focus, insisting that the current challenges would not derail the party’s mission.
“I urge all party members, supporters, and well-meaning Nigerians to stay calm, resolute, and focused on our shared mission. Together, we will rise above every challenge. Nigeria will be OK,” he added.
The assurance comes as the NDC continues to challenge a recent court ruling that set aside an earlier judgment directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the party.
Its leadership has maintained that the party remains legally recognised while pursuing an appeal against the decision.
