2027: Kwankwaso Confirms Written One-Term Agreement With Peter Obi 

The vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has disclosed that he and the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, signed a written agreement committing Obi to serve only one four-year term if elected president in the 2027 general elections.

Speaking during a televised interview on Monday, July 20, 2026, Kwankwaso said the agreement was formally documented to reassure supporters and stakeholders that the presidency would return to the North after a single tenure.

He stated, “We have put the agreement on paper,” adding that he had no reason to doubt Obi’s integrity or willingness to honour the pact if they emerge victorious in 2027.

Kwankwaso explained that his decision to accept the vice-presidential slot was based on a broader understanding aimed at promoting national unity, equity and political stability.

According to him, the arrangement reflects the NDC’s commitment to power rotation and inclusive governance, stressing that both leaders share a common vision for addressing Nigeria’s economic and security challenges.

The disclosure has generated widespread political reactions, with supporters describing the agreement as a demonstration of trust and commitment, while critics question whether such a political understanding carries any constitutional or legal force beyond the goodwill of the parties involved.

The revelation is expected to remain a major talking point as political campaigns ahead of the 2027 general elections gather momentum.
