The battle for opposition unity ahead of the 2027 presidential election is intensifying as Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) make their position clear on calls for candidates to step aside.
Kwankwaso, the running mate to Peter Obi, has insisted that the NDC’s presidential ticket will not withdraw in favour of Atiku Abubakar or any other party. His statement comes amid growing tension between the NDC and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over who should lead the opposition in the 2027 race.
The dispute follows Kwankwaso’s own call for Atiku to step aside for Obi, a proposal that has drawn criticism from the ADC Presidential Campaign Council. Kwankwaso has rejected suggestions that he and Obi are working for President Bola Tinubu, insisting that the NDC ticket remains committed to contesting the election.
With competing presidential ambitions and disagreements over a possible opposition alliance, the question remains: can Nigeria’s opposition parties reach an agreement before the 2027 election, or will they contest separately?
Watch for the latest developments in Nigeria’s 2027 political race.
