Obi, Kwakwanso can’t stop Tinubu’s re-election, says ex-Ogun lawmaker
Former lawmaker Kayode Oladele believes an alliance between Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso cannot stop President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027 due to lack of coordinated capability and national spread. Oladele credits Tinubu's long-standing reputation as a strategist and the APC's entrenched national presence as key factors in their continued strength.
A former federal lawmaker, Kayode Oladele, has dismissed the potential alliance between 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi and former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso ahead of the 2027 general elections. Oladele stated that the proposed partnership lacks the necessary political structure and national spread to defeat President Bola Tinubu's second term bid. Nigerian presidential politics requires tested structures, broad alliances, and grassroots coordination, which the Obi-Kwakwanso alliance lacks. The APC remains the most formidable force due to its entrenched national presence and extensive grassroots network, with over 30 states under its control. Oladele credited Tinubu's reputation as a strategist and coalition builder as a critical factor in the party's strength. The administration's economic reforms, such as removing fuel subsidy and restructuring the foreign exchange system, are seen as necessary measures for the country's long-term economic future.
