NDC Has Zoned 2027 Presidential Ticket To South – Buba Galadima

Buba Galadima, an ally of former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has revealed that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to southern  Nigeria.

Buba Galadima made this known on Monday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

According to him, the party is set to submit its membership list to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on May 5 or 6, a move he said would put the party on track for its next steps.

Galadima also confirmed that the party has already agreed on zoning the presidential slot to the south, stressing that the decision is final.

He said, “We have zoned the party’s presidential candidature to the south. No missing votes. We’ve zoned it to the south.”

When asked how the party plans to choose its candidate, he made it clear that conducting primaries is the current priority, rather than settling for a consensus option.

KanyiDaily recalls that Peter Obi, former Labour Party’s presidential candidate, and former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso recently joined the NDC.
