Former Kano State Governor and 2027 vice-presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has announced his arrival on TikTok, calling on Nigerians to follow his account for reliable information and exclusive updates about his activities. The announcement signals an expansion of his online presence as political activities intensify ahead of Nigeria's 2027 general elections.

Kwankwaso disclosed his presence on the short-video platform through a post on X on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. He encouraged supporters and members of the public to connect with him on TikTok to receive information directly from him rather than relying solely on messages circulating through other online channels.

The former governor explained that his account would provide updates on his daily engagements and give followers access to content about his activities. He also expressed optimism about Nigeria's future, declaring, "Nigeria will be OK," a message accompanying his invitation to Nigerians to engage with him on the platform.

The development comes as social media continues to play an important role in political communication across Nigeria. Platforms such as TikTok enable public figures to distribute short videos, communicate directly with supporters and reach younger audiences who increasingly obtain information through digital channels.

Kwankwaso's decision to establish a presence on TikTok provides another means for Nigerians to follow his public engagements and statements ahead of the next general elections. However, members of the public are encouraged to verify that any account claiming to represent a political figure is authentic before sharing information published through it.
