Former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, are reportedly planning to exit the African Democratic Congress (ADC), according to sources close to the matter.
Political insiders revealed that former President Olusegun Obasanjo is spearheading efforts to forge a political alliance between the two prominent opposition figures. The move is seen as part of a broader realignment strategy ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Tensions rose earlier today when some of Kwankwaso’s key political associates, known as the Kwankwasiyya movement, were seen defecting from the ADC in the morning.
This development comes at a critical time as the country edges closer to the 2027 general elections, with top politicians scrambling to reposition themselves for maximum political leverage.
