A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dan Ulasi, has said that growing political alignment between Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso reflects ongoing efforts to build national consensus ahead of future elections.

Ulasi noted that both figures command significant influence in their respective regions, stressing that their collaboration could reshape the political landscape.

Featuring on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Thursday, Ulasi said: “The Peter Obi, Kwankwaso effect is part of the process we are building up, building bridges across this country. Kwankwaso is not a name you throw out in the North either is Peter Obi a name you throw out in the South.

So if by the grace of God the two of them will come together and one of them emerges as president as we hope because it’s an unwritten law that the South will have eight years, the North has had eight years under Buhari, so we have four more years to complete the southern tenure.

“The concept of Peter Obi, Kwankwaso is going to turn out to be an exciting and very strong political process that if successful, because only God knows tomorrow, will usher in a new era of development and progress for this country and that is why we are backing Peter Obi.

From what is happening in the country, he (Peter Obi) has more than 60 percent chance of emerging as the President of this country.”
