Presidential flag bearer of the NDC, Peter Obi, has formally announced former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, as his choice for Vice President ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The declaration signals a major shift in Nigeria’s political landscape, as both leaders now form the party’s joint presidential ticket for the upcoming polls.
The Obi–Kwankwaso alliance is expected to unify two strong political constituencies with wide national influence, setting the stage for a competitive opposition front in the 2027 election season.
Political observers say the partnership represents one of the most notable realignments so far, with potential to reshape voter dynamics and early campaign expectations.
With the confirmation, both figures are set to begin a joint campaign effort as they seek to challenge other contenders in what is shaping up to be a tightly contested race.
