Obidients Turn to Tambuwal After Kwankwaso Rejects VP Offer

Politics watchers say cracks have appeared in opposition talks after Rabiu Kwankwaso reportedly rejected a vice-presidential offer as “insulting.” His decision has forced supporters of Peter Obi to search for a new northern running mate. Insiders now point to former Sokoto State governor Aminu Tambuwal as a strong contender capable of restoring regional balance. Several other names, including Isa Pantami and Nasir El-Rufai, were also considered earlier. The development highlights intense behind-the-scenes negotiations as the opposition shapes its ticket for the 2027 presidential race.
