Supporters of former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, and ex-Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, have launched a new political pressure group, the Obi–Kwankwaso Movement, as permutations intensify ahead of the presidential primaries of the African Democratic Congress.
The group, which announced its emergence in Abuja on Monday, said it had established structures across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, alongside the appointment of state and zonal coordinators to drive its mobilisation.
The National Publicity Secretary of the movement, Justin Ijeh, disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja, describing the initiative as a coalition of political forces comprising the Obidient Movement, Kwankwasiyya, the New Nigeria People’s Party, and the African Democratic Congress.
The development signals a fresh layer of realignment within the opposition coalition, amid growing uncertainty over who will clinch the ADC presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 general elections.
