A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dan Ulasi, has stated that former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso is not a name to be casually mentioned in the North, just as former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi is not a name to be casually mentioned in the South.
The statement was contained in a viral post shared on the Arise News YouTube account on April 23, 2026.
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dan Ulasi, has said that Rabiu Kwankwaso is not a name that can be casually dismissed in the North, just as Peter Obi is not a name to be taken lightly in the South.
He noted that if both politicians were to work together and one of them eventually emerges as president, it could shape a significant political development for the country. According to him, there is an “unwritten understanding” that power should rotate, with the South expected to complete its remaining four years after eight years under former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Ulasi added that a potential Peter Obi–Kwankwaso political alliance could become a strong and interesting force in Nigeria’s political space, capable of ushering in a new era of development and progress, stressing that their group is backing Peter Obi.
According to Dan Ulasi:
“Kwankwaso is not a name you throw out in the North either is Peter Obi a name you throw out in the South.
“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.”…..See More
