NNPP's Kwankwaso Delays Defection to ADC Over Presidential Ticket Concerns

Rabiu Kwankwaso, the leader of NNPP, is reportedly delaying his move to ADC for the 2027 elections due to uncertainties surrounding Peter Obi's presidential ticket assurance. Obasanjo has been instrumental in proposing an alliance between Obi and Kwankwaso, aiming to challenge the ruling APC.

Kwankwaso, a prominent Nigerian politician, has a strong following in Kano through his Kwankwasiyya movement. The potential alliance between Obi and Kwankwaso has reached an advanced stage, with Obasanjo's support crucial for its success.

The political landscape is also influenced by figures like Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, and Nasir El Rufai positioning themselves for the upcoming elections. Sylvester Edet Okon has urged Obi to step down in favor of a southern presidency bid.
