Kwankwasiyya Movement Backs Obi, Kwankwaso for 2027

The Kwankwasiyya Movement has declared that only Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso have authentic grassroots support as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections. Habib Mailemo, the spokesperson for the movement, emphasized that the support for Obi and Kwankwaso is driven by personal conviction rather than political inducement or reliance on party structures.

This statement was made in response to claims regarding the popularity of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who is associated with the People's Democratic Party. Mailemo argued that Atiku's influence is largely dependent on established networks within the party, contrasting it with the direct appeal that Obi and Kwankwaso have among the Nigerian populace.

This assertion reflects the growing political landscape as the 2027 elections approach, with various figures testing their alliances and public support bases.
