Ahmad made the comment in a post shared on X on Monday, where he speculated on possible realignments within the opposition bloc.
He claimed that if former Vice President Atiku Abubakar were to join the NDC, both Obi and Kwankwaso might consider exiting the party rather than face a primary contest.
According to him, the two politicians would struggle in a direct party primary against Atiku Abubakar, a situation he believes could trigger further political shifts.
The statement has added to ongoing discussions about possible alliances and tensions among major political figures as preparations for the 2027 elections intensify.
