2027: He won't change his mind - Kwankwaso reveals agreement between him, Peter Obi
Kwankwaso said the pact includes one party document and one personal accord, with Obi pledging to step down after a single term.
- On Monday, Nigeria Democratic Congress vice-presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso revealed that he and presidential candidate Peter Obi signed a written agreement committing to a single four-year term if elected in 2027.
- The agreement comprises two documents—one for the NDC party and one personal between the men—mandating power returns to the North after the 2027-2031 tenure, Kwankwaso stated.
- Rejecting claims by Borno State Governor Ali Modu Sheriff that the North would reject the ticket, Kwankwaso cited Obi's two million votes in Northern Nigeria during the 2023 election as proof of electoral viability.
- Expressing confidence in the pledge, Kwankwaso stated, 'I don't think he will change his mind when the time comes,' though the documents remain a political commitment rather than legally enforceable.
- The NDC ticket combines Obi's support among young voters in the South-east with Kwankwaso's political machinery in Kano, positioning both men to compete against Atiku in the 2027 general election.
