The Obi–Kwankwaso (OK) Movement, which supports Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, has stepped up its efforts to get the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential ticket before the 2027 elections.
The group said it is working to make sure that no other candidate gets the party’s presidential ticket, and talks between the two sides are still going on.
Habibu Mohammad, the spokesperson for the Kwankwasiyya Movement, told the Daily Post in an interview that he was sure the alliance would come up with a joint ticket.
“We’re working together and still talking to make sure we get something done,” he said.
Mohammad said that Kwankwaso is willing to take on any role that would help the party win in 2027.
“My principal, Kwankwaso, has agreed to let Obi take over.” He said, “He is ready for anything that will help ADC get rid of President Tinubu.”
He also said that the former governor of Kano is willing to work with any legal political group that can take on the current government.
The movement said that the Kwankwasiyya and Obidient groups are working together to stop outside groups from having too much power in the party’s primaries.
“We’re not going it alone anymore; we’re putting our forces together.” “We’re not going to give in to any primary that isn’t credible,” Mohammad said.
He also said that some candidates might try to sway the process with money, but the coalition would fight against such moves.
The group also asked Atiku Abubakar to help bring the opposition together.
“We are praying and hoping that Atiku will be like a father to all of us so that we can keep giving him the respect he deserves,” he said.
