Ganduje’s Kano Warning: Obi–Kwankwaso Ticket ‘Dead on Arrival’

Ganduje’s Kano Warning: Obi–Kwankwaso Ticket ‘Dead on Arrival’

In Nigerian politics, defections often reveal the real direction of support. Recently in Kano, former governor Abdullahi Ganduje publicly dismissed the Obi–Kwankwaso ticket as “dead on arrival” in the region. Within days, the APC national chairman held a private meeting with Senator Rufai Hanga, a Kwankwasiyya stalwart. Hanga says he has lost faith in his party after being bypassed for key nominations. His move marks a major shift in Kano’s political balance. These back-to-back developments suggest the North may have already made its choice for the 2027 election. Obi and Kwankwaso risk reaching January still debating support while the region’s decision is already settled.

Are people's reactions mostly disappointment, support, or indifference, and from which local communities were these perspectives?

It's telling that Ganduje made his statement so publicly right before the APC chairman's private meeting in Kano.

I'm not convinced one governor's view can decide a region's loyalty without looking at local campaign dynamics.

Campaign teams should track grassroots sentiment in Kano beyond headlines to adjust strategies before it's too late.
