KNN tells RMRDC chief to resign and support Obi

The Kwankwaso National Network (KNN) urged Raw Materials Research and Development Council Director-General Prof. Nnanyelugo Ike-Muonso to resign and support Peter Obi’s 2027 presidential bid after Ike-Muonso called on Obi to step aside for Bola Tinubu. KNN said the election should focus on competence and national recovery rather than regional power rotation, describing Obi as a credible alternative. The group also challenged Vice President Kashim Shettima to answer Obi’s economic proposals with verifiable data and explain the savings from petrol subsidy removal, continued borrowing, and progress on rehabilitating state-owned refineries.
