Kwankwaso advancing Tinubu’s interests – ADC

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council has criticized former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso for allegedly advancing President Bola Tinubu's political interests. The council accused Kwankwaso of urging Atiku Abubakar to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race in favor of Peter Obi. The ADC-PCC's media spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, dismissed Kwankwaso's actions as reckless and self-serving, claiming the move aimed to weaken opposition forces ahead of the election.

Ologbondiyan argued that Kwankwaso should focus on challenging the Tinubu administration rather than targeting opposition figures. He expressed confidence in Atiku's ability to secure victory in Kano State, citing issues like inflation, hunger, poverty, and insecurity as key factors influencing voters' decisions. Ologbondiyan questioned Kwankwaso's alignment with Peter Obi and the National Democratic Congress, suggesting opposition leaders should unite against the ruling All Progressives Congress.

He accused Kwankwaso of focusing on his future political ambitions rather than addressing Nigeria's immediate challenges and warned that his actions could benefit the ruling party by creating divisions among opposition politicians. Ologbondiyan maintained that Kwankwaso's support for Obi might be driven by personal ambitions and potential future negotiations.
