Kwankwaso urged to drop ego, deputize Obi for 2027 presidency
Activist lawyer Maxwell Opara challenged former Kano governor Rabiu Kwankwaso to form an alliance with Peter Obi for the 2027 presidential race. Opara argued Obi has the capacity to defeat President Tinubu, citing his Labour Party success. He urged Kwankwaso to drop his ego and deputize Obi, stating a Northern candidate challenging a Southern incumbent would fail. Opara emphasized Obi's potential to unite opposition forces against Tinubu's administration.
