A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dan Ulasi, has said that the growing political alignment between Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso reflects ongoing efforts to build a broader national consensus ahead of future elections.
Dan Ulasi stated that both politicians hold strong influence in their respective regions, adding that any form of cooperation between them could significantly reshape Nigeria’s political landscape.
Speaking during an appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Thursday, Dan Ulasi said the emerging “Obi–Kwankwaso effect” represents part of a wider process aimed at building political bridges across the country.
He further noted that Kwankwaso remains a major force in the North, while Peter Obi also commands substantial support in the South, making both figures difficult to ignore in national political discussions.
“So if by the grace of God the two of them will come together and one of them emerges as president as we hope because it’s an unwritten law that the South will have eight years, the North has had eight years under Buhari, so we have four more years to complete the southern tenure.
“The concept of Peter Obi, Kwankwaso is going to turn out to be an exciting and very strong political process that if successful, because only God knows tomorrow, will usher in a new era of development and progress for this country and that is why we are backing Peter Obi.
“From what is happening in the country, he (Peter Obi) has more than 60 percent chance of emerging as the President of this country.”
