The vice presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has said appointments under an NDC administration will be based on competence.

According to him, political loyalty will no longer be a passport to public office if his party wins the 2027 presidential election.

Kwankwaso said this while featuring on the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Personality Interview Series in Abuja on Sunday.

“If the NDC wins the 2027 election, appointments will be based primarily on competence and the needs of the country, not because someone is politically connected or personally close to those in power,” he said.

He maintained that governance extends beyond the offices of the president and vice-president, stressing that an administration can only succeed when supported by experienced technocrats, professionals and politicians with proven capacity.

“Power will be shared according to the needs of the country. Technocrats and qualified politicians with prerequisite knowledge will be appointed,” he stated.
