Atiku Campaign Accusses Kwankwaso of Working for Tinubu, Plotting Opposition-Split

The council said Kwankwaso’s call could split opposition ranks and help the ruling party ahead of the 2027 election.

  • The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council accused Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of advancing President Bola Tinubu's interests by urging former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race in favor of Peter Obi.
  • ADC-PCC Director of Media and Publicity Kola Ologbondiyan criticized Kwankwaso's recent Channels Television interview, alleging his actions create division among opposition politicians and benefit the ruling All Progressives Congress .
  • Ologbondiyan claimed Kwankwaso is "more concerned about positioning himself for the 2031 presidential election rather than addressing the urgent challenges confronting Nigerians today," describing the Vice President role as a "spare tyre."
  • The council maintained that Kwankwaso's support remains unnecessary to secure Kano State, citing the 2003 and 2007 presidential elections when former President Muhammadu Buhari secured victories in the state without his backing.
  • Questioning Kwankwaso's relevance following his fourth-place finish in the last election, the ADC-PCC reiterated confidence that Atiku can restore economic stability and win the 2027 race without the governor's endorsement.
