Tension in Kano as Residents Burn Peter Obi–Kwankwaso Campaign Posters
Angry residents in Ungogo Local Government Area of Kano State burned campaign posters of the NDC presidential ticket of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso. A video circulating online shows the party’s local chairman, Bilyaminu Bachirawa, being pulled from a moving motorcycle amid the chaos. He narrowly escaped a lynching as youths chased him while shouting. This flare-up came just hours after Obi secured the NDC ticket for the 2027 election and unveiled Kwankwaso as his running mate. The duo recently defected from the ADC, citing internal disputes and ongoing court cases. The attack underscores rising tensions around Obi’s support in parts of the North and raises questions about security for opposition campaigns ahead of the next election.
