Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former Governor of Kano State and ex-presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has boldly predicted that Peter Obi will win the 2027 presidential election and be inaugurated as Nigeria’s next president.
Kwankwaso made the declaration during the affirmation of consensus aspirants for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) held in Kano, describing the occasion as a landmark moment for the party.
The former governor praised the peaceful conduct of the exercise, noting that the smooth emergence of consensus candidates across constituencies reflected strong unity within the party’s ranks in Kano State. He also commended party leaders, elders, and supporters for their roles in ensuring the process ran without hitches.
Kwankwaso revealed that some constituencies had recorded more than ten aspirants, but that stakeholders were able to reach agreement through consensus — a development he considered remarkable.
Speaking directly about the 2027 presidential race, he expressed unwavering confidence in Obi’s chances. “I’m talking about Peter Obi — he will be flying our flag, and by the grace of God, on May 29, exactly one year from now, he will have been sworn in as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he declared.
The senator also extended appreciation to members of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, the CRC, Lafiya Jari groups, and the NNPP for their support throughout the exercise.
In a separate remark, the chairman of the party’s primaries committee, Mainasara Abubakar Sani, commended members for their cooperation, stating that the Kano chapter made the committee’s work considerably easier with their orderly participation.
