But before Nigerians celebrate this rumoured alliance, there is one question begging for an answer; is this poster real?
Let’s find out.
Verification
We begin our verification process via Facebook, since it is the platform this poster was shared.

Kwankwaso’s main page is that with 635k followers. We scrolled through the verified page to April 1.

Sadly, there was nothing related or linking the former governor and presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) to the viral poster.
As a matter of fact, there was no post suggesting an alliance between Kwankwaso and Obi.
We also visited Peter Obi’s page where we found nothing about the poster or an agreed alliance between the two politicians.
For clarity, Peter Obi’s Facebook page is the one with 1.5m followers.

For authenticity sake, we proceeded to Google, the most visited search engine.
We combined the search query; Rabiu Kwankwaso Peter Obi for our verification.
We found nothing about the poster or Kwankwaso/Obi alliance shared by any credible platform. However, there are reports of supporters pushing for such an alliance.
