Obi–Kwankwaso Team-Up in NDC Divides Nigerians as 2027 Looms

Nigerian political watchers are split over Peter Obi’s decision to join the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) with Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso ahead of the 2027 election. Obi explains he left ADC and the Labour Party due to worsening national conditions and internal litigation. Critics question the consistency of his repeated party switches and worry about coalition stability. Supporters believe combining Obi’s youth and middle-class appeal with Kwankwaso’s northern grassroots strength could energise the opposition. Others argue that real change depends on durable structures, not just new alliances. Voices from across the country—from former Labour Party figures to market traders—say their top concerns remain affordable fuel, lower food prices and honest leadership rather than shifting political banners.
