The Kwankwasiyya Movement has confirmed that the National Leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and its 2023 presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, is currently engaged in high-level talks with the African Democratic Congress and the National Democratic Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Spokesperson of the movement, Mansur Kurugu, disclosed this in Kano on Monday, noting that the ongoing consultations could lead to a strategic realignment among the parties.
According to him, no final decision has been reached, but discussions are progressing steadily, with strong indications that a consensus platform will emerge before the next electoral cycle.
“It is true that Kwankwaso is in talks with ADC and NDC. We are optimistic that the leaders involved will eventually agree on a common platform before the 2027 elections,” Kurugu said.
He further revealed that key political figures, including Seriake Dickson, Peter Obi, and Seyi Makinde, are part of the ongoing negotiations, which he described as “significantly advanced.”
Kurugu added that the final decision may see the coalition adopt either ADC, NDC, or even retain the NNPP as its political vehicle.
The talks follow a recent political convergence in Kano, where Kwankwaso hosted Makinde, Obi, and Dickson during a Sallah gathering—an event widely interpreted as a signal of intensifying opposition alignment ahead of 2027.
