Kwankwaso Finally Explains How North Settled For Peter Obo

Rabiu Kwankwaso, the former governor of Kano and the national leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, has claimed that the political leaders in the northern region carried out a deliberate assessment of political allies before they settled for Peter Obi as the most potential partner for the 2027 presidential campaign.

The former governor made the claim while dismissing concerns about the alleged power struggle between him and Obi.

Kwankwaso explained the development while speaking in an interview on Arise TV on Monday. He explained in detail how the alliance between the southeast and the north within the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) was formed.

He explained:

“I looked around together with our leadership in the north to say, okay, who do we think is capable? Who can come and work together with us honestly so that we can move this country forward? Along the line, we realised that Peter Obi is at the forefront of it. That’s why we all agreed to work together.”
