A former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has expressed his willingness to be a running mate to Peter Obi, his Labour Party counterpart, in the 2027 elections.
Kwankwaso noted that he has no issue being a running mate to the former Anambra governor.
According to him, he would accept the role “if certain conditions are met.”
In a video clip circulating on social media, the former kano governor said that establishing trust is crucial for any potential agreement between the duo.
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”.
DAILY GIST recalls in the 2023 presidential election that Obi secured the majority of votes in 11 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, with approximately 6,101,533 votes.
Kwankwaso on the other hand won 38 out of 44 local government areas in Kano State, garnering 1,496,687 votes.
