Prof. Abdulmumin Ajia, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for governorship of Kwara State, declared that the party no longer needs the support of the All Progressives Congress (APC) or the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to win the 2027 election. Ajia said he is confident that the NDC can secure a decisive victory against the two dominant parties in the state.
The statement was made by Ajia during a campaign event in Kwara, where he outlined his strategy for unseating the APC and PDP. While the details of his plan were not disclosed, he emphasized the importance of a fresh political direction for the state.
Kwara State, located in north‑central Nigeria, has historically been a battleground for the APC and PDP. The upcoming 2027 gubernatorial election will determine the next executive leader of the state.
Ajia, a professor by profession, is the latest entrant from the NDC to contest the governorship. His candidacy reflects the party’s growing ambition to challenge the established political order in the region.
As the campaign season approaches, the NDC’s confidence in its ability to defeat the APC and PDP signals a shift in the political landscape of Kwara State. The party’s performance in the 2027 election will be closely watched by observers of Nigerian politics.
