Kwankwaso indirectly working for Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid – Kano govt

The Kano State Government has alleged that former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, is indirectly working towards the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The claim was made by the Director-General of Media and Publicity at the Kano Government House, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, during an appearance on the Arise TV Morning Show on Wednesday.

Bature said recent political alignments and engagements across the country suggest behind-the-scenes arrangements that may be shaping the 2027 political landscape in favour of President Tinubu.

According to him, “Kwankwaso is indirectly or strategically working towards President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.”

He further alleged that some opposition figures are engaging in political consultations that are weakening a united front ahead of the elections.

He added that Kwankwaso and Obi are unlikely to work together politically.

According to Bature, Kwankwaso hates Peter Obi, and Peter Obi also hates Kwankwaso.

He added that people with divergent political views and contrary ideologies cannot work together to win an election and govern a sophisticated country like Nigeria.

He maintained that such political differences make collaboration difficult ahead of the 2027 elections.

Bature further claimed that former vice-presidential candidate Peter Obi may face political limitations in Kano State due to what he described as the conservative nature of the state’s political environment.
