UNSEEN POWER BROKERS CONSIDER PETER OBI, EL RUFAI JOINT TICKET IN 2027

According to insider sources, dissatisfaction with Tinubu’s administration has fueled discussions among unseen power brokers, who are now considering a joint presidential ticket featuring Peter Obi and Nasir El-Rufai.

These Unseen Power Brokers are considering Peter Obi and El-Rufai Ticket to Challenge Tinubu in 2027.

With the 2027 presidential elections looming on the horizon, where ambitions collide and alliances shift like desert sands, a new political narrative is emerging, with power brokers in the North reportedly mulling over a strategic alliance to unseat President Bola Tinubu.

The rationale behind this proposed alliance stems from a belief among the power brokers that Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, is renowned for his widespread appeal and political strength across various regions of Nigeria, including the Southeast, Southwest, South-South, and parts of the North Central.

However, his reach into the Core-Northern states, according to sources familiar with the situation, is deemed insufficient without a strong partner from the north.

According to PIDOMNIGERIA’s findings, the Obi and El-Rufai partnership is viewed as the most potent force capable of ousting Tinubu from power in 2027.

PIDOMNIGERIA wrote: “In Nigeria’s politics, there are unseen power brokers. They check the strength and weaknesses of candidates before forming alliance.

“From a very reliable source, as i was informed, the Obi and El-Rufai combo that is being proposed is the only formidable force that can flush Tinubu out of power in 2027. That is why it is being considered at the moment.

“According to what I gathered, the power brokers believe Obi has a cult followership, general love, acceptance, and political strength to pull massive votes around SE, SW, SS, and around some North Central states. But he needs a formidable force to sell and drive his candidacy into the Core-Northern states.

“Firstly, a hard-line Muslim with political strength to market Obi around the KKK states in the north so he could be accepted.

Secondly, someone who is well educated and smart enough to checkmate Peter Obi because of trust issues between both regions.”

“Thirdly, someone who will automatically succeed Peter Obi to become president, banking on Peter Obi’s political support.

They found that person in Nasiru El-Rufai. The plan is to adopt another political party and see to the reality of this plan.” “It is left to both men to either accept or reject the proposal.In 2023, the Obi/Kwankwaso combo did not work, as both men want to be president. Kwankwaso refused to be a vice presidential candidate to Peter Obi.”

    BAD MARKET FOR PDP IN ANAMBRA STATE AS ASPIRANTS FAIL TO BUY GUBERNATORIAL FORM

    BAD MARKET FOR PDP IN ANAMBRA STATE AS ASPIRANTS FAIL TO BUY GUBERNATORIAL FORM As the Peoples Democratic Party closes the sale of its N40m expression of interest and nomination forms for the upcoming Anambra governorship election, no aspirant has stepped forward to purchase them. The party initially scheduled the sale of forms between February 24 and March 5, with a March 7 deadline for submission. The Anambra PDP governorship primary is set for April 5, followed by an appeal committee sitting on April 8. However, an insider in the PDP, who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed that aspirants are avoiding the party due to internal crises. The source noted that the ongoing leadership crisis has made aspirants hesitant to invest in the platform. “As of now, no aspirant has purchased the PDP Anambra governorship nomination forms. They are hesitant due to the party’s instability. The crisis has weakened the party’s influence across different levels, making aspirants cautious about spending such a huge sum,” the source stated. He further explained that the turmoil, affecting state chapters, zonal bodies, and national organs, has eroded confidence in the party’s ability to conduct a fair primary. In response to the situation, another party official disclosed that the PDP National Working Committee has revised the election timetable, extending the sale of forms to March 10 to encourage participation. “The NWC is reviewing the issues, and a revised timetable will be made public before the end of the week. The deadline for purchasing forms has now been extended to March 10,” the source said. Additionally, a stakeholders’ interactive session with the NWC is scheduled for March 10 at the PDP national headquarters, Wadata Plaza, Abuja. The PDP’s internal troubles have worsened due to a dispute over the National Secretary position, with Senator Samuel Anyanwu and former National Youth Leader, Sunday Ude-Okoye, battling for the role. The case is scheduled for hearing and judgment at the Supreme Court on March 10. The situation escalated further after a controversial South-South zonal congress held on February 22, which lacked the approval of PDP governors, creating more divisions within the Board of Trustees, National Working Committee, and National Executive Committee. PDP National Deputy Legal Adviser, Okechukwu Osuoha, acknowledged the party’s crisis but remained optimistic about its chances in Anambra. “I am not surprised by the situation, but I know the National Organising Secretary has set the ball rolling for the governorship election,” Osuoha said. He admitted that internal disputes, litigation, and factional struggles have discouraged aspirants but insisted that PDP remains a formidable force. “Yes, there are unresolved issues from the congresses, but PDP has structures across the country, and these matters will be settled soon. Anambra has always been politically challenging, but things will improve,” he added. However, PDP Deputy National Youth Leader, Timothy Osadolor, argued that the wider disillusionment with Nigeria’s electoral process is the main reason aspirants are reluctant to contest. “People are tired of investing millions in an election process that lacks credibility. Even if you win fairly, political interference from the presidency can overturn results. That’s why many are hesitant,” Osadolor stated. Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission has confirmed that the Anambra State governorship election will be held on Saturday, November 8, 2025. Attempts to reach PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, and the National Organising Secretary for comments were unsuccessful as they neither answered calls nor responded to messages.
