2027: Kwankwaso Breaks Silence on Alleged Power-sharing Agreement With Atiku, Obi, Details Surface

TheTalk.NG journalist Ridwan Adeola Yusuf has over 9 years of experience covering elections, politics and governance.

Kano, Kano state – Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 election, has refuted rumours circulating recently that he reached an agreement with Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar.

TheTalk.NG reports that Obi flew the flag of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election while Atiku bid for the presidency under the banner of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2019 and 2023. The trio are expected to throw their hat into the ring again in 2027.

In an interview with the BBC, Kwankwaso stated that he was unaware of such a claim. He, however, alleged that Atiku’s camp had been meeting with regional leaders, including clerics, to propagate the narrative.

Daily Trust noted Kwankwaso’s clarification on Monday, December 30.

He said:

“This issue deeply angers me—to hear that respected elders are spreading lies about something that never happened. I was told that nearly 45 clerics were gathered and informed about this fabricated story. I did not appreciate this at all.

“They were told that I had agreed to a deal where Atiku would serve for four years, I would serve for another four years, and Peter Obi would serve for eight years. This is completely false; such an agreement never existed.”
