Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has dismissed the prospects of a Peter Obi–Rabiu Kwankwaso presidential ticket in the 2027 general election, arguing that the pair lack the governance record and political legacy needed to secure victory. Speaking with journalists in Abuja, Ganduje said the proposed alliance would struggle to attract widespread support, particularly in Kano State.
Ganduje maintained that neither Obi nor Kwankwaso possesses the political credentials required to convince Nigerians to entrust them with the presidency. He specifically argued that the ticket would fail to gain traction in Kano, describing it as “dead on arrival” in the state.
The former Kano State governor also questioned the governance records of both opposition figures, insisting that their previous tenures in public office did not leave the kind of enduring legacy capable of inspiring nationwide electoral support. According to him, successful presidential campaigns are built on proven leadership, political structure and a strong record of governance.
Ganduje’s remarks come amid growing speculation about opposition alliances ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Political observers have suggested that a partnership between Obi and Kwankwaso could reshape the political landscape, although no official joint ticket has been formally announced.
His comments have further intensified debate over the 2027 race, with supporters and critics offering differing views on the strengths of potential presidential contenders. As political consultations continue across party lines, analysts expect discussions around leadership records, regional influence and coalition-building to remain central to the campaign season.
