Senator Victor Umeh, speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, says no candidate can defeat Rabi’u Kwankwaso in Kano State in the 2027 elections. Umeh, who represents Anambra Central, makes the claim while discussing the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and its electoral readiness.
Umeh links his confidence to what he describes as the party’s level of preparation and the credibility of the electoral process. He says the outcome in Kano would be determined by an election that is credible, transparent, free and fair. The reports also note that he presents recent political activity as evidence of momentum, pointing to the NDC’s Rivers State governorship candidate, Dumo Lulu-Briggs, and describing strong public support around NDC figures, including presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Across the outlets, the core message is consistent: Umeh argues that Kwankwaso has strong political standing in Kano and that the NDC is positioned to perform well ahead of 2027, citing campaigning and crowd turnouts as indicators of public engagement.
