I Have No Issue Being Peter Obi’s Running Mate – Kwankwaso Reveals New Details on Negotiations

The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 elections, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has expressed his willingness to be a running mate to Peter Obi, his Labour Party counterpart, in the 2027 elections.

Kwankwaso stated that he would accept the role “if certain conditions are met.”

In a video clip trending on social media, the northern politician said that establishing trust is crucial for any potential agreement.

According to Kwankwaso, he is “politically bigger” than Obi, citing his PhD holder status and impressive performance as governor.

He said, “I’m bigger than Peter Obi politically, I’m his elder brother, I’m a PhD holder, I performed better than him when I was a governor of my state. I’ve no problem with deputizing Peter Obi, but only if certain conditions are met.

“We are willing to engage in discussions, provided that trust is established”.

It should be noted that both Kwakwanso and Obi are popular opposition figures in the country.

In the last general election, Obi secured the majority of votes in 11 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, with approximately 6,101,533 votes. Meanwhile, Kwankwaso won 38 out of 44 local government areas in Kano State, garnering 1,496,687 votes.

clarocuzioo:
Kwankwaso you are not bigger than Peter Obi politically, the last election proved so. Peter Obi garnered over six million votes and won eleven states while Kwankwaso got just a little over a million vote and won just Kano state.

See this mumu. Good luck with PhD was deputy to sick Ya'Adua and heaven did not fall. Osibanjo with PhD was vice to brainless Buhari, yet nobody said anything. Keep over rating yourself.

brain54:
You are bigger politically...

Yet you had 1 million plus votes during the last election while he had 6 million plus votes.

Numbers don't lie. This is not PhD matter!

Shadomaan7:
Kwankwaso is just a bitter politician. How did he perform better than his predecessors in Kano state?

Mjshexy:
If not that Peter Obi was rigged out, he should be the President right now. Kwankwaso can deputise Obi but he should know we can't have him as our President, no no no...

softtorce:
When it is the turn of the North like it is the turn of the South let Obi contest against Kwakwaso n tell us how many vote he garnered then
