Top 3 Northern Politicians PDP May Pick As Vice Presidential Candidate In 2027, Full List Emerges
The battle over who picks the presidential ticket of Nigeria’s ‘main opposition party’, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2027 election has officially begun after the party recently zoned the ticket to southern Nigeria.
Legit.ng reports that with the presidential ticket zoned to the south, the PDP’s vice-presidential slot will inevitably go north.
In this report, Legit.ng looks at 3 top politicians of northern extraction that the PDP may settle for as vice-presidential candidate.
Potential PDP vice presidential candidates
1) Bala Mohammed
Mohammed, governor of Bauchi state and chairperson of the PDP Governors’ Forum, stands out as the most obvious fit.
Mohammed gave up his presidential bid to allow the PDP zone the ticket to the south.
The loyalty of the 66-year-old to the party and credibility among governors make him a stabilising force.
2) Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo
Dankwambo, former Gombe governor and now senator, also fits this mould with his technocratic credentials and relatively clean reputation.
Dankwambo is a former accountant-general of the federation (AGF) after being entrusted to the role by then Nigerian leader, Olusegun Obasanjo. Tap. Read. . More. — To Uncover What Happens Next
