Atiku vs. Tinubu: Kwankwaso backs Peter Obi out of personal ambition, ADC says

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council accused Rabiu Kwankwaso, Peter Obi’s running mate in the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), of backing Obi out of personal ambition. Kola Ologbondiyan, the council’s director of media and publicity, said Kwankwaso was not genuinely committed to Obi or to the opposition’s effort to defeat Bola Tinubu and the APC in 2027. The remarks followed Kwankwaso’s call for ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar to withdraw, after Kwankwaso said he had urged Fulani groups to persuade Atiku to leave the race. Ologbondiyan called the appeal reckless and self-serving, saying it could advance Tinubu’s political interests.
