Obi-Kwankwaso Ticket Will Not Withdraw for Atiku — Kwankwaso

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic
Congress (NDC), has firmly rejected claims that the party’s Obi-Kwankwaso (OK) ticket will withdraw from the 2027 presidential race in favour of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

In a strongly worded statement, Kwankwaso expressed deep concern over the conduct of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council. He accused it of launching unnecessary attacks on him, the NDC’s presidential candidate Peter Obi, and the party itself.

He said the ADC campaign team was creating mischief by suggesting that the OK ticket was working for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) or that it might step down at the last minute for the ADC candidate. Kwankwaso described such claims as unfounded and unhelpful.

“Let me state clearly and unequivocally: we will not withdraw our candidature for the ADC or any other party,” he declared. “We remain confident in our capacity, competence, and readiness to lead Nigeria.”

Kwankwaso added that the OK ticket is neither working for nor acting on behalf of the APC or any of its candidates, and that there is no possibility or reason for them to withdraw in favour of the ADC or anyone else. He urged the ADC campaign to focus instead on responding to serious allegations levelled against their own candidate by Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Oppositions vs oppositions

Spoiler to the end..No retreat no surrender

Thanks our agent

The statement should be coming from Obi, and not Kwankwaso. He's getting agitated because there are rumours that Obi is in talks with Atiku after having discovered that Kwankwaso is working for Tinubu to keep his 2031 aspirations alive. The NDC gubernatorial candidate just got disqualified by INEC, has Kwankwaso issued any statement about that? He clearly wants his son-in-law, Abba Kabir to retain Kano under APC. Their much touted clash was a ruse and was manufactured so that Kwankwaso can retain the structure of both the APC and the opposition in Kano. Ganduje and Barau are silently aggrieved with Tinubu for throwing them and their own ambitions under the bus.

They are not even interested in telling Nigerians what they are going to do differently yet some of their supporters are so confident of them winning.

NDC are even yet to have their campaign team for the election that's less than 3 months.

Yeye opposition

A very good one coming from Kwankwanso.

No one should be stepping down for the other. It’s called democracy for a reason. All candidates must compete.

Atiku is not asking anyone to step down for him. He is actively campaigning against Tinubu on the issues. Kwankwaso, on the other other hand, appears to be only preoccupied with Atiku. Wake up and smell the coffee.

You just want Obi to step down for Atiku and it will never happen.

Was 2023 the turn of the north when Kwankwaso asked for the job of president?

20 years earlier in 2003, was it the turn of the south when Ekwueme and Ojukwu contested?

On the contrary. I want Obi to be on the ballot and floor Tinubu in the Southsouth and Southeast just like he did in 2023.

Go and ask Atiku why he was claiming 2015 is the turn of the North

Or you should ask Obi why he was claiming 2027 is the turn of the south

After they both give you a reply, then I will also give you a reply

if it took agbero chairman 4years to recover some of the money the likes of parachoko took from his bullion vans how many years will it take Dubai landlord to recover all the money he has been gifting delegates since God knows when.avoid this twins for the better future of the country

Agent Kwankwaso is doing the lord's work.

Was Obi aware of this when he deputised the Dubai landlord in 2019 or did he suddenly become a Dubai lord because Obi now wants the number one position?

shut up Dubai landlord as of then the lesser evil among the twins . avoid them now Peter obi is the best choice

Parachoko:
And who's ruling Nigeria today?

Tinubu, with 75% of his votes coming from the North. The North made him President. He was outrightly rejected in the South, including in his hometown.

It's very okay to support Obi because he is your tribesman. Infact, it's very logical to also do so because a Southeasterner has never been president since 1999. It is this attempt to sell Obi as one kind of Saint while putting others down that puts off many of his supporters whom are not from the Southeast. This is an honest advice. Kwankwaso was Kwansogbu when he refused to deputise Obi in 2023 after 8 years of Buhari but he is now a good man and "turn of the South" crusader today because he now purports to support Obi while using him to actualize his 2031 ambitions after securing a "written agreement" from Obi. But Obidients are lapping it up like coolaid.

You have not shown where Atiku and Obi claimed what you allege.

Meanwhile, below is where Tinubu claimed it was the turn of Yorubas in 2023, even though he used kachalla Ribadu to claim the turn of the north in 2011 and kachalla Buhari to also claim the turn of the north in 2015 before reinforcing the failure in 2019.

The shameless guy had no qualms following Utomi to the same communist LP labourers camp in 2023, to unwittingly help Tinubu grab power from Buhari to destroy our country.

NLCreator:
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.

There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.

Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.

The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.

While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.

“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.

“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.

“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”

Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.
