The proposed 2027 presidential alliance between former Labour Party candidate Peter Obi and former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso has reached an advanced stage, with a joint committee already set up under the African Democratic Congress.
The alliance is reportedly championed by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who has connected the two politicians and engaged northern power brokers to support the joint ticket.
While Kwankwaso has yet to formally join the ADC, discussions are ongoing, with both camps open to either candidate taking the presidential or vice-presidential slot.
The alliance could significantly reshape opposition politics, posing a formidable challenge to the ruling APC in 2027.
Obasanjo’s active involvement lends political weight and strategic networking to the coalition-building effort.
Internal ADC dynamics may be tested, especially regarding zoning and candidate preferences among existing aspirants like Atiku Abubakar.
A successful Obi-Kwankwaso ticket would merge Southern and Northern political bases, enhancing national appeal.
The move signals growing realignment within the opposition ahead of 2027, with potential to attract other influential figures and movements.if you’re reading from Phoenix, Click on Read Original at the top to read full details
