Obi and Kwankwaso's Alliance Promises New Development Era

Dan Ulasi, a chieftain of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), expressed confidence that the partnership between Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso will usher in a new era of development in Nigeria. During a television interview on Thursday, Ulasi highlighted the significance of their collaboration in building a consensus for the future elections.

He noted that both leaders command considerable influence in their respective regions, with Obi representing the South and Kwankwaso from the North. Ulasi emphasized the importance of their joint efforts in reshaping the political landscape of Nigeria, suggesting that their alliance could bridge divides across the country.

He referenced an unwritten political convention that suggests a rotation of power between the North and South, indicating that the emergence of Obi and Kwankwaso could align with this tradition. Ulasi estimated a 60 percent chance for Peter Obi to emerge as president, reflecting optimism about the political process and its potential for success.
