Former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has vowed to work against former presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking via a video making the rounds on social media, Dokubo accused the former Kano governor of trying to mislead Muslim voters.
He vowed to mobilise against Kwankwaso, expressing confidence that Kano residents would reject him at the polls.
“I will be at the forefront of campaigning against Rabiu Kwankwaso in the 2027 election. He thinks he can sell Muslims for kobo kobo… Kano will surprise you this time, but we are going to disappoint him,” he said.
He further alleged that Kwankwaso was positioning himself to manipulate political sentiments, using strong language to question his credibility among Northern voters.
Kwankwaso’s recent exit from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and alignment with the ADC has intensified political activity within opposition ranks, with consultations and counter-mobilisation already gaining momentum ahead of 2027
Kwankwaso has yet to respond to the claims as of the time of filing this report.
Meanwhile, Kwankwaso has appealed to Nigerians both at home and abroad to ensure that they participate fully in the 2027 general elections.
NewsWatch Nigeria reports that Kwankwaso, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, made the appeal in a video via his official 𝕏 handle on Monday night.
The former Governor of Kano State urged Nigerians, especially youths, to complete their voter registration with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) without delay ahead of the forthcoming elections.
He also urged Nigerians to register with the ADC as the coalition party prepares to unseat President Bola Tinubu.
He said, “Fellow Nigerians; It is time for every eligible Nigerian young and old, in the cities and in the villages, at home and in the diaspora to take two decisive steps:
“Register to vote with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) without delay.
“Register with the African Democratic Congress (ADC).”
