The statement comes amid growing speculation surrounding possible realignments involving Obi and other opposition figures ahead of the 2027 presidential race.

 

Recall that on Friday, Habibu Mohammed, spokesperson of the Kwankwasiyya movement, claimed that Peter Obi and former Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, were considering leaving the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

 

Mohammed said the alleged move followed consultations and endorsement by stakeholders within the movement.

 

The speculation also intensified following reports that Obi has not attended subsequent ADC meetings since the all-opposition political leaders’ summit held in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, in April.

 

However, Tanko stressed that Obi’s engagements remain focused on identifying the most strategic path that aligns with the collective vision of building a better Nigeria.

 

“As a movement founded on integrity, accountability, and active citizen participation, we remain committed to ensuring that every decision reflects our values and long-term vision for the country,” the statement read.

 

He added that the consultations are being conducted carefully and deliberately, with the broader interest of Nigerians at the centre of every discussion.

 

According to the movement, the ongoing engagements are aimed at securing a political future capable of delivering meaningful reforms and inclusive governance for Nigerians.
