From what I see Obi and Kwankwaso coalition may not work out but both parties are using each other for free advertisements among each other's stronghold audiences.

Mutually beneficial if you ask me, for instance, the Obi Kwankwaso saga as I would like to now classifiy it is mutually marketing both parties, people in the East (South East South South) have their eyes on Obi while people in the North have their eyes on Obi.

This had become a symbiotic mutually beneficial campaign, Obi's fans are interested in Kwankwaso while Kwankwaso's fans are interested in Obi, there are people in the North who are neither for Kwankwaso nor Obi earlier but the rising popularity of both people in both region may win each individual extra vote also applicable to the South in the case of Kwankwaso.

At the end, Obi would contest in Labour while Kwankwaso contest in NNPP but they could have created enough awareness that every Northerner would already endeared to Obi while every Easterner would be endeared to Kwankwaso, it is such a mature politics, there is mutual understanding and mutual marketing.

I really don't see any side stepping down for the other but the whole intrigues is what politics is mostly about

Finally someone gets it ...the news of the merger have increased obi popularity in the north ...obi is the winner here clearly this would make his campaign so much easier

I wanted to get upset earlier however after cross examination, I figured out it is some free marketing going on, also the choice of the placeholder vice from the South west maybe another strategy to keep himself in their face, psychology have a way of working, people get talking about you and it gives a sense of confidence and power whether imaginary or real

The thing about publicity is it sales you beyond your imagination.
