FCT, Abuja – Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 elections, has revealed that he and the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, have signed a written agreement governing their political partnership ahead of the polls.

Kwankwaso made the disclosure during an appearance on Channels TV‘s ‘Politics Today’ on Monday, July 21, 2026, which was monitored by Legit.ng. He confirmed that the two men have committed their arrangement to paper, describing it as a structured, short-term plan built around a single presidential term for Obi.

What the NDC agreement says

According to Kwankwaso, the deal positions Obi as the presidential candidate on their NDC ticket for 2027, with the understanding that Obi will serve only one term if they win. The former governor added that he intends to contest the presidency himself in 2031, once Obi’s single term comes to an end.

Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano state, did not specify the exact terms beyond the one-term arrangement, but his confirmation that both men have signed the document suggests the partnership is more formalised than previously reported.

Obi’s single-term proposal ignites debate

Kwankwaso and Obi both ran for the presidency in 2023 and drew significant support, particularly from northern and south-eastern Nigeria respectively.

The proposal for Obi, an influential politician from the southern part of the country, to serve a single term has drawn criticism from supporters of President Bola Tinubu.
