A fresh political storm is shaking Nigeria’s opposition space as Datti Baba-Ahmed raises serious doubts over reports linking Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to a possible vice-presidential role under Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 elections.
The comments have triggered heated debate across Abuja and beyond.
My fellow Nigerians, is this political alliance realistic or just another round of elite power struggle? Can age, influence, and political weight truly decide who leads and who follows in today’s Nigeria?
The full scene is right there in the underlined words above — the tension in this discussion is unbelievable. You need to see it with your own eyes to understand how this political argument is unfolding in real time. The emotional weight in that footage is something many Nigerians are reacting to strongly.
Speaking on Channels Television, Datti Baba-Ahmed noted Kwankwaso’s long political history, his strong Kano base, and decades of experience in top positions including governor, minister, and senator. He argued that someone of that stature, now about 70 years old, may find it difficult to accept a deputy role under any candidate, including Peter Obi.
