Policy Strategist and Group CEO, Global Investment and Trade Company, Baba Yusuf, has stated why the Peter Obi and Rabi’u Kwankwaso ticket may not win the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Friday, Yusuf said they may be able to get numbers of voters but the numbers would not spread across the North and South to give them the constitutional requirement to win.

Recall that Obi and Kwankwaso dumped the African Democratic Congress, ADC, for the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, last Sunday citing court cases and internal divisions as reasons for their exit.

Airing his own opinion, Yusuf said, “If you look at the spread of Peter Obi with profound respect to him and Kwankwaso, they won’t be able to win the presidency.

“They may be able to get numbers of about 70 million voters that didn’t vote in 2023 which I reckon people will come out and vote.

“But will those numbers have the spread across the North and Southern Nigeria to give them the constitutional requirement to win the election as Peter Obi and Kwankwaso? I expect a lot of consultations and negotiations that will lead to that.

“The ‘me me’ attitude will not cut it. And I expect maybe Peter Obi and Kwankwaso to sit down with an elder statesman like Atiku Abubakar to say, look, how are we going to share this power?

“It’s a negotiation, but when you come with this attitude of ‘we don’t need you’, it will not yield any positive result,” Yusuf said.
