2027: PDP Govs Hints on working for El-Rufai/Obi ticket
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum has dismissed reports suggesting that some of its members are supporting a potential Nasir El-Rufai/Peter Obi presidential ticket in 2027.
A statement by chairman of the Forum Bala Mohammed (Bauchi) said there was nothing like that.
The clarification follows reports which claimed that five PDP governors were in favour of an El-Rufai/Obi ticket.

The PDP Governors’ Forum strongly refuted these claims, describing them as misleading and provocative.
While debunking the speculation, the forum said, “It is incumbent on the PDP Governors’ Forum through its leadership anchored by the Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed, to openly denounce and in very strong terms, the unpleasant and provoking publications and rumours being peddled by negative forces and their agents who cannot absorb the temerity of this Forum to question their incapacities in leadership…”
The statement further criticized attempts to create divisions within the party, alleging that some elements were working to weaken the opposition and undermine Nigeria’s democratic institutions.
Reiterating the party’s unity and commitment to governance, the forum declared, “The PDP Governors’ Forum does not align with these actors, neither does it enjoy any ambience of political space to discuss nor seal the auction of the PDP through lowlife grifters who are allegedly working behind the scenes to support a potential Nasir El-Rufai/Peter Obi presidential ticket in the 2027 election.”
The opposition governors stressed their dedication to addressing economic challenges, despite pressures from the ruling APC, and dismissed attempts to discredit their efforts.
