‘Obi-Kwankwaso Ticket is Dead on Arrival in Kano’ — Ganduje

• Ganduje says the proposed Obi-Kwankwaso alliance cannot win Kano in 2027.

• He questions the governance records of both politicians.

• The former APC chairman says the ticket lacks the appeal to convince Kano voters.

Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has declared that a proposed Peter Obi-Rabiu Kwankwaso presidential ticket would not stand a chance in Kano State, describing the alliance as “dead on arrival.”

Speaking with journalists on Tuesday, the former Kano State governor said the proposed Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) ticket lacks the political strength and governance credentials required to attract support in the state.

“I don’t think Peter Obi and Kwankwaso’s ticket will succeed in Kano. It will not succeed. In fact, it is dead on arrival,” Ganduje said.

He questioned Obi’s performance as governor of Anambra State, arguing that his administration did not leave a legacy capable of inspiring confidence in his ability to lead Nigeria.

“Because Peter Obi was a governor in the South-East geopolitical zone, a governor in Anambra State. What did he do as a governor? What legacy did he leave as a governor?” he asked.

“And from that, what other responsibility in governance did he hold that he made a mark to the extent that we believe he will be able to manage this country effectively and efficiently?”

Ganduje also criticised Kwankwaso’s political record, noting that unlike other former Kano governors, he was unable to secure two consecutive terms in office.

“Kwankwaso too, he was a governor of Kano State. He was not able to be a governor back-to-back,” he said.

“So far, the two other governors in Kano were able to win elections back-to-back. Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau was able to spend eight years straight. Myself, I was able to spend eight years straight.”

The former APC chairman further argued that Kwankwaso had not built a legacy strong enough to persuade Nigerians that he could effectively serve as vice-president.

“What legacy specifically can you say that he has left in Kano that will convince the people of Kano, will convince the people of Nigeria that he will be a successful vice-president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?” he asked.

Maintaining his stance, Ganduje said the proposed Obi-Kwankwaso alliance would fail to gain traction in Kano, insisting that it lacks the political appeal required to challenge established forces in the state.
