This follows a public statement by Kwankwaso last Saturday in Kano, where he expressed his willingness to align with any opposition coalition prepared to offer him either the presidential or vice-presidential ticket. Recall that in July 2025, the ADC emerged as the coalition platform adopted by opposition leaders seeking to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections. “It was clearly stated that there will be no offer of either the presidential or vice-presidential ticket from the party leadership to anyone. “Nobody can promise anyone the presidential or vice-presidential ticket, given the current realities within the ADC. However, the National Chairman can help negotiate and discuss the sharing of positions, such as ministerial appointments, National Assembly leadership positions, and even the SGF,” the source said.
