“You see the NDC party in Nigeria, assuming you can listen. I do not see ‘OK’ (Obi and Kwankwaso) going anywhere in the 2027 Presidential election,” he added. Obi previously served as Atiku’s running mate in the 2019 presidential election under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). In the build-up to the 2027 election, Obi, Atiku and other opposition leaders initially rallied around the ADC in an attempt to forge a broad coalition aimed at unseating President Tinubu. However, the alliance later collapsed following irreconcilable differences among key stakeholders, prompting Obi and Kwankwaso to leave the party with their supporters for NDC.
