EkoHotBlog reports that some reports had alleged that Kwankwaso, Obi and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party are in talks to form an alliance against the ruling party ahead of 2027.

According to the speculation, Kwankwaso reached an agreement that himself and Atiku would serve for four years each as Nigerian president, while Peter Obi would do eight.

However, in an interview with BBC Hausa, Kwankwaso denied the purported agreement, saying that events that unfolded in the previous elections should make some leaders refrain from anything related to the selection of candidates.

According to him, some northerners, “who declared themselves as the leaders of the north”, should allow the people to choose who they really want to be President.

In his reaction to the issue, Obi, who spoke at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday declared that there was no merger deal between him and any opposition figure.
