Kwankwaso Says Peter Obi’s Popularity Is Worrying Tinubu Ahead of 2027

Rabiu Kwankwaso says President Bola Tinubu is worried by the political momentum of NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 general elections. During an appearance on a television political programme, Kwankwaso said Obi remains popular in southern Nigeria while the party is mobilising supporters in the North. He argued that Tinubu would need strong backing from state governors to retain power. Kwankwaso also claimed that members of the Kwankwasiyya movement and other Nigerians seeking political change were rallying behind the NDC ticket. These claims reflect his political assessment and were not independently verified in the interview.
