Former Anambra State governor Peter Obi and former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso are reportedly weighing an offer from the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as political realignments gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The NDC is said to have reached out to both opposition figures, proposing a possible joint presidential ticket on its platform in a bid to strengthen its position as a viable alternative force.

Sources indicate that the move forms part of broader efforts by the party to consolidate opposition support across regions and present a more unified front in the next election cycle.

Both Obi and Kwankwaso, influential figures within Nigeria’s opposition landscape, are believed to be carefully considering the offer amid ongoing coalition talks and internal dynamics within allied political groups.

Political observers say the development underscores increasing efforts among opposition parties to forge strategic alliances ahead of 2027. However, analysts caution that lingering divisions and competing interests could pose challenges to achieving a single, consensus candidate.

As of now, neither Obi nor Kwankwaso has made an official statement confirming acceptance or rejection of the NDC proposal, leaving the situation open as consultations continue.
