ADC chieftain brands Obi, Kwankwaso 'moles' against Atiku's 2027 bid

ADC chieftain Naja'atu Muhammad labels Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso as "moles" working to undermine Atiku Abubakar's presidential ambitions, declaring the Atiku camp will never support either for the 2027 ticket.

In a Sunday interview with DCL, Muhammad cited Kwankwaso's reported remark that President Tinubu is a better leader than Atiku as proof of divided loyalty. She also alleged Kwankwaso's Kano supporters were instructed to spoil ballots rather than vote for Atiku in 2023, and that his brief ADC membership was a tactic to weaken the party.

Muhammad further claimed Obi has never contested a primary election, calling him "a coward" unfit for ADC's presidential ticket. On potential moves to exclude Atiku from the ballot, she warned: "If they do that, they are calling for a revolution," citing economic hardship from fuel subsidy removal and rising living costs as pushing Nigerians to the brink.

With 2027 positioning already intensifying, opposition alignment remains fractured. Will Obi and Kwankwaso respond to these allegations, or does this signal a deeper split that benefits the ruling party?
