2027: Lagosians React to Kwankwaso’s ‘Volcanic’ Reception
Lagosians express their reactions to the 'volcanic' reception accorded to Rabiu Kwankwaso during his visit to the city.

On Thursday, Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) vice-presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso paid a visit to Lagos State. The former Kano governor visited Katangoro and Ilepo markets in Alimosho, addressing his supporters in the state. According to Daily Post Nigeria, a viral video showed a massive crowd of supporters receiving Kwankwaso, with some describing the scene as ‘volcanic’.
Reactions from Lagosians have been mixed but largely positive, with many expressing enthusiasm for Kwankwaso’s political platform. However, some have raised concerns about the potential for violence during the 2027 elections, given the energetic response to Kwankwaso’s visit.
Kwankwaso, a former Kano governor and senator, is running for vice-president on the NDC ticket alongside Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar. The duo is aiming to unseat the incumbent President Buhari in the upcoming 2027 elections.
The excitement generated by Kwankwaso’s visit to Lagos highlights the potential for a tight race in the upcoming elections. With various political parties vying for support across the country, Nigerians will be watching closely as the campaign season unfolds.
