Next Year: Backers of Obi and Kwankwaso Gather in Abuja for Reconciliation Meeting Amid Rumors of Party Switching

A significant gathering is slated to take place in Abuja on Saturday, as supporters of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, the former governors of Anambra and Kano states, respectively, converge for a unity summit, a move perceived as an attempt to synchronize their political agendas in anticipation of the 2027 elections.

The forthcoming summit, tagged ‘One Voice, One Vision: In Unity We Win’, is being spearheaded by the OK Movement, an organization that has been at the forefront of promoting unity among various political factions.

A digital flyer circulated on X on Friday unveiled the list of esteemed speakers who will be addressing the assembly, with notable figures including Buba Galadima, Aisha Yesufu, and Isaac Fayose, all of whom are expected to share their insights and perspectives.

Additionally, the lineup of speakers features Moses Paul, a one-time chairmanship candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), as well as Adebayo Adefolaseye, who currently serves as the South-West coordinator for the OK Movement.

This development has emerged amidst mounting speculation that both Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso may be contemplating a defection from the ADC to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), a potential move that could significantly alter the landscape of opposition alliances in the lead-up to the next general elections.
