The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken a bold stance ahead of the 2027 general elections, vowing to match the All Progressives Congress (APC) ‘fire for fire’. According to reports by the Vanguard News, the NDC made this declaration when it inaugurated its Presidential Campaign Council on October 20 in Abuja. The National Chairman of the party, Senator Moses Cleopas, stated that the party would not hesitate to defend its mandate if the need arises. Cleopas also warned against any form of election manipulation, urging all stakeholders to ensure a free and fair election. The NDC’s bold move comes in response to the APC’s planned inauguration of its own Presidential Campaign Council on October 14, as reported by Punch Newspapers. However, a potential point of contention between the two parties is the issue of campaign funding, with opposition parties raising concerns over the APC’s alleged unfair financial advantage, as reported by Punch Newspapers. The NDC’s vow to match the APC ‘fire for fire’ underscores the fierce competition expected in the 2027 elections, with both parties gearing up for a challenging campaign period.
