Kwankwaso shared his reaction in a post on his official X account on July 7, 2026, after Sheriff claimed that northern voters would not support Obi in the 2027 presidential election. Sheriff had argued that Obi’s actions during his tenure as governor of Anambra State would make it difficult for him to secure votes from the region.
Rejecting that assertion, Kwankwaso maintained that no individual has the authority to decide how northerners should vote. He argued that the electorate would make their own choices at the ballot box rather than follow the opinion of any political figure.Favor And Life Battles? (Silent spiritual powers of favor). Favor gives you upper hand quietly, in your life battles, business, career, any occupation, power for desired position in life, upliftment in undertakings, patronage/contract, promise and fail, payment delays, love matters, marriage choice, seized/disputed properties, etc. Overcome delays, rejection, betrayal and achieve heart desires in time. For spiritual consultation, guidance, other matters, call/ Whatsapp Dr. J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God all are possible.
To support his position, Kwankwaso pointed to Peter Obi’s performance in the 2023 presidential election, noting that the former Anambra governor received about 2.8 million votes across the northern states despite it being his first presidential contest. He said the result demonstrated that Obi already enjoys considerable support in the region and could perform strongly again in the 2027 election.
In his post, Kwankwaso wrote: “For the record, in his first outing on the presidential ballot, Mr. Obi secured approximately 2.8 million votes in the region, a remarkable achievement that cannot be dismissed lightly.”
His comments have since generated discussion on social media, with supporters and critics offering differing opinions on the political outlook for the 2027 presidential election.
