Asari Dokubo, a former leader of a militant group in the Niger Delta, has promised to work against Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former presidential candidate, before the 2027 general elections.
In a video that is going around on social media, Dokubo said that the former governor of Kano was trying to trick Muslim voters.
He promised to organize against Kwankwaso and said he was sure that people in Kano would vote against him.
“I will be at the front of the fight against Rabiu Kwankwaso in the 2027 election.” He thinks he can sell Muslims for kobo kobo… He said, “This time Kano will surprise you, but we will let him down.”
He also said that Kwankwaso was trying to control people’s political feelings and used harsh language to cast doubt on his credibility among Northern voters.
Kwankwaso’s recent departure from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and joining the ADC have made the opposition more active. Already, consultations and counter-mobilization are picking up speed as the 2027 elections approach.
As of the time this report was filed, Kwankwaso had not yet responded to the claims.
Kwankwaso has also asked Nigerians living in Nigeria and abroad to make sure they vote in the 2027 general elections.
Kwankwaso, a leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), made the request in a video posted to his official 𝕏 account on Monday night.
The former Governor of Kano State told Nigerians, especially young people, to finish registering to vote with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as soon as possible before the upcoming elections.
He also told Nigerians to sign up with the ADC, which is the coalition party that wants to remove President Bola Tinubu from office.
He said, “Fellow Nigerians, it’s time for every Nigerian, young and old, in the cities and in the villages, at home and abroad, to take two important steps:
“Don’t wait to register to vote with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“Sign up with the African Democratic Congress (ADC).”
