2027: Atiku camp accuses Kwankwaso of working for Tinubu

The African Democratic Congress campaign team has claimed that the running mate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, is working to benefit President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections. Kola Ologbondiyan, ADC-PCC's Director of Media and Publicity, criticized Kwankwaso after his comments on Channels Television, accusing him of focusing on opposition leaders instead of tackling President Tinubu's administration.

Ologbondiyan stated that Atiku Abubakar, the ADC presidential candidate, would likely win Kano, Kwankwaso's home state, regardless of his support. He argued that Kwankwaso's position is perplexing, given his alliance with Peter Obi and the NDC, and suggested that he should prioritize building a stronger opposition rather than attempting to undermine another opposition leader.

Ologbondiyan questioned Kwankwaso's true intentions for 2027, implying that his actions might serve the ruling APC better than supporting any opposition candidate. He also highlighted Kwankwaso's questionable role in previous elections, pointing out that Muhammadu Buhari won Kano in 2003 and 2007 without his backing. Ologbondiyan concluded by asserting that Nigerians are intelligent enough to see through political maneuvers aimed at protecting an unpopular administration.
