Kwankwaso supporters propose Obi-Kwankwaso presidential ticket for 2027 election
Supporters of Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, under the aegis of the Kwankwaso Support Group 2027 has proposed a joint presidential ticket for former Governor of Anambra State Peter Obi and Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso for the 2027 general election.
Abba Gwale the group’s leader, speaking on Friday in Kano appealed to Nigerians to support the Obi-Kwankwaso alliance, in order to rescue the country from its current challenges.
Gwale said: “As Kwankwaso supporters and loyalists, we have proposed and thrown our weight behind the joint presidential ticket, especially with Peter Obi, in any of the political parties. The current political trajectory has shown where the tide is shifting.
“If the duo gets a mandate in the upcoming election, Nigeria will be a better place. For real, we’re tired of insecurity, hunger, and starvation.”
He added: “We want a political alliance to bring together Obi’s strong support base in the South and Kwankwaso’s formidable support in the North, creating a powerful coalition that could potentially shake up the political landscape. With this partnership, the duo is poised to give the ruling party a run for their money.
“At the heart of this alliance is a shared ambition to wrestle power from the ruling APC and bring about meaningful change to Nigeria. Both Obi and Kwankwaso have consistently emphasised their commitment to assisting the common man in Nigeria, and their partnership is seen as a key step towards achieving this goal.”
He noted that the combined political strength of the duo of Obi and Kwankwaso, would pose a formidable challenge to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“As 2027 approaches, all eyes are on the Obi-Kwankwaso alliance to see how they will capitalise on this momentum and translate it into votes. One thing is certain — the duo is determined to shake things up and bring about a new era of politics in Nigeria,” he stated.
Gwale further debunked the rumour of Kwankwaso’s alleged demands to the ruling party in order to switch sides, describing the claims as outrageous.
Kwankwaso is the National Leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), while Obi recently decamped from the Labour Party (LP) to the coalition African Democratic Congress (ADC).
