Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso has confirmed details regarding the Peter Obi single-term agreement, revealing that both leaders have formally signed a written pact ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Monday, the vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) explained that the arrangement guarantees the presidency will return to the Northern region after a single four-year term running from 2027 to 2031.

One agreement was finalized directly at the party level, while a secondary personal agreement was signed between Kwankwaso and Obi.
Kwankwaso stressed that he has full confidence in his political partner to uphold the Peter Obi single-term agreement, emphasizing that their partnership is rooted in personal trust and mutual respect.
