Supporters aligned with Rabiu Kwankwaso and loyalists of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar have reportedly thrown their weight behind Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

 Supporters aligned with Rabiu Kwankwaso and loyalists of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar have reportedly thrown their weight behind Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

The groups said their endorsement was based on Obi’s leadership style, economic policies, and commitment to national development, arguing that Nigeria needs a leader capable of addressing insecurity, unemployment, and economic hardship.

According to sources within the political camps, discussions are ongoing among opposition figures on the possibility of building a broader coalition to challenge the ruling party in 2027. The move is seen by political observers as part of early realignments ahead of the next general election.

While neither Kwankwaso nor Atiku has officially announced a joint political position regarding the presidency, several supporters from both camps have continued to express admiration for Obi’s performance during the 2023 elections and his growing popularity among young Nigerians.

Analysts say any alliance involving Obi, Kwankwaso, and Atiku’s political structures could significantly reshape Nigeria’s opposition landscape ahead of the 2027 polls.
