There’s growing chatter in Nigeria’s political space about Kwankwaso’s next move as the 2027 elections draw closer. Former Kano governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has been weighing an alliance with opposition figures like Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), as part of efforts to build a broader challenge to the ruling APC. Recent reports suggest he is considering this path amid the realignment of opposition forces, creating a sense of curiosity about whether this trio could actually come together.
Yet the situation also feels confusing and unsettled. Kwankwaso himself has denied any formal pact with Atiku and Obi in the past, calling circulation of such power-sharing rumours “completely false,” and expressing frustration at misinformation about their talks. Playwrights of conversation argue that unity could strengthen the opposition’s chances, but others wonder if personal ambitions and mistrust might make such an alliance awkward or fragile. So the question many Nigerians are asking isn’t just should Kwankwaso join them, but can he — and whether unity born of strategy can survive the personal histories and political uncertainties that currently swirl around those names.
