2027: Kwankwaso explains Obi alliance, declares Ganduje, Yusuf finished

Rabiu Kwankwaso has explained his 2027 alliance with Peter Obi, citing national interest and equity. According to Punch Nigeria, he also declared that Ganduje and Yusuf are politically finished.

The details of the alliance and the implications for Ganduje and Yusuf are not elaborated on in the reports. However, Daily Trust provides additional context on the ongoing rivalry between Kwankwaso's Kwankwasiyya movement and the APC faction led by Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

Abdulaziz Umar Ganduje, the eldest son of the former Governor of Kano State, recently returned to the APC after a brief defection to the New Democratic Congress. His return was seen as a reaffirmation of loyalty to the APC structure in Kano and a significant step in consolidating the Ganduje family's political base.
