The vice presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, in the 2027 general elections, Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has commended the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria, CBCN, for demonstrating courage and patriotism by drawing attention to the realities confronting the nation.

Kwankwaso articulated that the concerns of the Bishops regarding the rising cost of living, worsening insecurity, declining public confidence, and the hardship faced by millions of Nigerians are neither partisan nor isolated; they reflect the daily experiences of ordinary citizens across every region of the country.

The NDC vice presidential candidate emphasised that Nigeria is blessed with abundant human and natural resources, yet millions of people continue to struggle under the weight of economic hardship, unemployment, insecurity, poor access to quality education and healthcare, and diminishing opportunities. According to him, "These challenges demand urgent, sincere, and people-centred responses from those entrusted with leadership."

Kwankwaso declared: "I encourage all well-meaning Nigerians to continue constructively engaging the Federal Government and other leaders at all levels whenever the opportunity arises, advocating for good governance, accountability, and policies that prioritise the security, welfare, and prosperity of our people.

"It is through such collective commitment and responsible leadership that we can build a more peaceful, united, and prosperous Nigeria.

"May Almighty Allah continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. - RMK"
