Speaking on behalf of the support groups in Kano on Friday, Abba Gwale stated that as loyal supporters of Senator Kwankwaso, they found it necessary to appeal to Nigerians to support the Obi-Kwankwaso alliance, saying it’s a chance to rescue the nation from its current challenges.
“As Kwankwaso supporters and loyalists, we have proposed and thrown our weight behind the joint presidential ticket, especially with Peter Obi, in any of the political parties. The current political trajectory has shown where the tide is shifting.”
“If the duo gets a mandate in the upcoming election, Nigeria will be a better place, for real we’re tired of insecurity, hunger, and starvation”
” We want a political alliance to bring together Obi’s strong support base in the south and Kwankwaso’s formidable support in the north, creating a powerful coalition that could potentially shake up the political landscape. With this partnership, the duo is poised to give the ruling party a run for their money.”

“At the heart of this alliance is a shared ambition to wrestle power from the ruling APC and bring about meaningful change to Nigeria. Both Obi and Kwankwaso have consistently emphasized their commitment to assisting the common man in Nigeria, and their partnership is seen as a key step towards achieving this goal”
Gwale, who hailed from the same constituency as Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, further explained that the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket is banking on a wave of popular discontent with the current administration, and their message of hope and change is resonating with many Nigerians. With their combined strength, they are emerging as a formidable challenger to the ruling party.
“As 2027 approaches all eyes are on the Obi-Kwankwaso alliance to see how they will capitalize on this momentum and translate it into votes. One thing is certain – the duo is determined to shake things up and bring about a new era of politics in Nigeria”, Gwale added
On Kwankwaso’s alleged demands for a significant number of positions from the ruling APC as part of his joining the party, Gwale noted that if there were anything like that, it should be seen as outrageous, given the caliber of the former Governor.
