A chieftain of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, has hinted the possibility of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi and himself having a joint ticket in the 2027 general elections.
Kwankwaso made this known on Sunday during a live appearance in an interview on Trust TV.
He said that the ideologies of the Obidients and the Kwankwasiyya movement are similar, hence the joint effort.
When asked if Nigerians can expect Obi-Kwankwaso on the joint ticket of NDC in 2027, the former Kano state governor said, “I believe so, and taking into the party, I think that is their mindset.
“In recent times, we actually tried to check what the Obidients were up to politically and what they want to do for Nigeria, and of course, when we compare the two movements, we realized that our goal is more or less the same.
“In summary, we want to make Nigeria a better place for all of us, especially the young men and women who need the attention of government. They don’t need too much. Just basic things like education, job opportunities, security, and so on and so forth.
“These are the issues that are on ground and we also agree that experts will look at our blueprint and their blueprint, so that they can compare and see.
“In fact, we have gone so far, but based on our discussions with them, I believe we have one target: to make Nigeria a better place,” he said.
