A public affairs analyst, Donald Okwuosa, has reacted to the call for a joint ticket of Peter Obi and a northern candidate ahead of the 2027 election Okwuosa said Obi and El-Rufai’s joint ticket will unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) loveth.com.ng gathered that Obi, former vice president Atiku Abubakar, and former minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, are fighting for the ADC presidential ticket
A public affairs analyst, Donald Okwuosa, stated that power should return to the South for another eight years after the late former President Muhammadu Buhari. Okwuosa said the Obi/ Nasir Elrufai ticket under the ADC coalition will unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling APC in 2027.
He stated this while reacting to Bashir, one of the sons of El-Rufai, who asked Atiku Abubakar to step down for Peter Obi.
Bashir said Obi and a strong northern candidate will set President Tinubu packing in 2027. During an exclusive chat with Legit.ng over the weekend, Okwuosa said: “As for an Obi/Elrufai ticket, I consider it a perfect match. Both are men of impeccable character and integrity. They are both guided by principles and run with a mindset of excellence. Also, with a Midas touch.”
Why Obi/El-rufai ticket will unseat Tinubu?
The public administrator said El-Rufai did tremendously well in office as an FCT Minister and later as the governor of Kaduna State.
According to Okwuosa, Elrufai is a strong, brilliant, and formidable force in the north and Nigerian politics, while Peter Obi, on his part, is an embodiment of character, wisdom, and grace.
He said, despite a ‘server glitch’ and several corruptions that marred the 2023 presidential election, Obi still garnered over 6 million votes,
“A joint ticket of Obi with El-rufai would make Obi’s presence in the north more prominent. Don’t forget, it was this same El-rufai and Ganduje (former Kano state governor) who announced Tinubu to the north, giving him prominence.”
“Obi with an El-rufai is an intelligent bargain, and if properly pushed forward, would unseat ‘Emilokan’ from presidency, no doubt, because the north seems to be tired of Emilokan, more so, when he didn’t keep to their agreement regarding presidential appointments.”
