North Forms Alliance with Peter Obi, Says Kwankwaso

Rabiu Kwankwaso, the former governor of Kano State, spoke about the North's decision to form a political alliance with Peter Obi during an appearance on Arise Television. He addressed concerns regarding potential hidden rivalries within Obi's camp, asserting that the friction is primarily due to greed rather than structural tensions.

Kwankwaso highlighted that this alliance is a significant political partnership in Nigeria's history, tracing its lineage to the North-Southeast partnership from the First Republic. He emphasized that the choice to support Obi is not merely based on regional sentiments but is a calculated decision aimed at addressing the political landscape.

The discussion took place among northern political leaders who were assessing the potential of this alliance to settle political disputes.
