According to Legit.ng, the NNPP's warning centres on predictions that Kwankwaso could betray any such arrangement, raising fresh questions about the opposition's electoral prospects. The development highlights ongoing uncertainty over possible coalitions among Nigeria's opposition parties as early positioning for the 2027 race begins.

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has explained his choice of former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso as his running mate for the 2027 presidential election. Speaking in an interview with The Sun published on Sunday, Obi said the decision was based on their shared commitment to common goals, according to African Examiner. The report did not include further details from the interview.

The remarks were reported by Naija News, though the blurb does not specify what decision Obi made or the context of the dispute between the former running mates.

Kenneth Okonkwo, a former spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, has publicly criticized Peter Obi, stating he is indecisive and unfit for the presidency.
