Obi and Kwankwaso Set to Join NDC in Major Opposition Realignment

Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso are expected to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress next week, according to the Kwankwasiyya movement spokesperson. Discussions with the NDC are 90 percent complete, with only minor issues left to resolve. Representatives from all 44 local government areas in Kano have given their unanimous backing. The move follows a leadership crisis and recent court developments in the African Democratic Congress. Supporters argue that a stable party platform is essential before the 2027 elections. If the defection holds, it will reshape the opposition landscape ahead of the next election cycle. Key questions remain over who will lead the ticket and how regional interests will be balanced.
