Obi-Kwankwaso One-Term Pact: Can It Unseat Tinubu in the North?
An emerging alliance between Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso sees a one-term presidency deal ahead of the 2027 election. Under the pact, Obi would serve four years before power returns to the North. The duo aims to merge Obi’s support in the South-East, South-South and North-Central with Kwankwaso’s stronghold in Kano and beyond. Their move follows both leaders joining the Nigeria Democratic Congress, which has zoned its 2027 ticket to the South. Critics like former Kano governor Abdullahi Ganduje question whether this alliance can build the nationwide structure needed to challenge President Bola Tinubu. With Atiku and other figures also vying for votes in the North, the opposition’s unity and organisational strength will likely decide the race.
