The Labour Party has welcomed Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso's intriguing offer to join Peter Obi as his running mate in the upcoming 2027 presidential elections. In a recently circulated video, Kwankwaso, the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, expressed his willingness to serve as deputy under Obi's leadership, contingent upon certain conditions being met. While Umar Farouk, the Labour Party's National Secretary, described this development as a positive step, he urged Kwankwaso not to jeopardise the ongoing merger discussions by asserting his political superiority and academic credentials. This comes in the wake of past merger talks between the Labour Party and the NNPP that faltered due to leadership disputes. In the previous elections, Peter Obi secured over 6 million votes, while Kwankwaso trailed with just under 1.5 million, raising questions about their potential partnership.
