Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has announced former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, as his running mate ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The announcement came after Obi was adopted as the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, at the party’s special convention.
The moment drew loud reactions from party members and supporters, as the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket is expected to reshape conversations around the 2027 presidential race.
Obi’s choice of Kwankwaso is seen by supporters as a strategic move to strengthen the party’s national spread, especially with Kwankwaso’s political influence in Kano and parts of the North-West.
