Abdulmumin Jibrin, the lawmaker representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency in Kano State, has called on President Bola Tinubu and former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso to work together. Speaking on Channels Television’s *Politics Today*, Jibrin praised Tinubu and said he would choose both Tinubu and Kwankwaso to collaborate, with Tinubu leading the effort. He emphasized the importance of Tinubu completing the South’s eight‑year presidential term.
Jibrin’s remarks come amid speculation that Kwankwaso may defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections. Kwankwaso, a prominent northern figure with a large following, has long been an ally of Tinubu, and his potential entry into the APC could significantly affect the party’s prospects in the upcoming polls. The call for a Tinubu‑Kwankwaso partnership is notable because of Kwankwaso’s influence in the North and the broader implications for regional balance in Nigerian politics, where northern and southern interests often compete.
The suggested collaboration highlights the complexities of Nigeria’s political landscape, where alliances can shape electoral outcomes. As the country prepares for the 2027 elections, the possible Tinubu‑Kwankwaso partnership could become a pivotal factor in determining the electoral map and ensuring regional representation. Observers will be watching closely to see whether Jibrin’s proposal materialises and what impact it may have on the nation’s political future.
