Ibrahim Abdulkarim, a political associate of former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has claimed that the former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has agreed to be the running mate to Peyer Obi in the 2027 presidential race.

Abdulkarim, speaking during an interview on Trust TV, said the Obidients and the Kwankwassiyya Movements are already aligning towards Obi/Kwankwaso ticket.

Asked if Obi and Kwankwaso had struck a deal, Abdulkarim said “yes, I can categorically tell you that they have agreed.

“We all know that. Both the Obidients and the Kwankwassiyya Movements are aware of the agreement”.

 Kwankwaso recently decamped from the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

His move stirred suspicion that the two political gladiators may have agreed to run for the 2027 presidency on a single ticket.
