The Digest:
Former Governors Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso are intensifying moves to secure a joint presidential ticket on the ADC platform by rallying northern leaders around a one-term power rotation deal. The duo are pushing a "one-term" agenda to persuade northern stakeholders to back their alliance and shift support away from former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ahead of the party's primaries. Under the proposed arrangement, Obi would serve a single term if elected.
Key Points:
- Kwankwaso is the arrowhead of the mobilisation against Atiku in the North.
- Kwankwaso reportedly plans to run for president in 2031 after Obi's one-term.
- Atiku has said 2027 will be his final attempt at the presidency.
- Supporters launched the "Obi–Kwankwaso Movement" on April 20.
- ADC spokesperson said the party will strive for a consensus candidate.
