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.

Okay

Obi is a bigger opposition than u are, u better accept the vice.
Though I'll accept the fact that u performed better than Obi as governor.
Irrespective, I will like to see this collabo

He is actually bigger than Obi. Obi should just accept this fact and stop deceiving himself.

Kwankwaso dey joke.

Peter Obi that came third in the election, you want to be his VP?

Time for reality

Kwakwanso won just one state which is Kano but Peter Obi humiliated Tinubu in his Lagos and disgraced buhari even inside aso rock in Abuja .

Abeg who is the bigger man again?

Babablu bulabu.

Someone that had 1 million plus is bigger than one that had 6 million plus votes?

Una go open mouth waaa!

Kwankwaso dey joke.

why are you afraid of Peter Obi?

See this mumu. Goodluck with PhD was deputy to sick Yar'Adua and heaven did not fall. Osibanjo a lawyer and a London trained economist was vice to brainless and gworo chewing Buhari, yet nobody said anything. Keep over rating yourself.

Kwankwaso should become VP to Sowore? The joke is on you.

Read well

Because he’s a boy! A pawn to get him distracted! When the elders play games beyond a kid like obi,he should have consolation with Lagos! Let’s see how he will do the same in the next election!

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.

lol comparing national spread with local spread. He couldn’t even win Kano 100%. Meanwhile the one he is bigger than won his state 100% & capped it with a national spread. Biggie wehdone!

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!

Is Kwankwaso mocking Obi? He said that he is bigger than Obi, that he performed better than Obi while they were governor of their states.

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

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.

Kwankwaso is making a valid point.

I believe Kwankwaso is politically bigger than Obi. The religious factor made Obi came third in the last election and not that people believed in him politically. The condition at that time only favoured him and gave him an edge over Kwankwaso

PrinceOfLagos:

The name 'Peter Obi' gives him nightmares

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

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...

I am even begning to doubt this your Phd.

Academically you may be bigger than him because of your Phd. But political weight is not determined by academic certificates.

Kwankwaso should not fall himself hand.

But Nigerians do not want Obi as president instead it was Kwakwaso that was rigged out not the Pandora Criminal lunatic Peter obi.

Bla bla bla!
Who told Kwakwanso to contest when it wasn't turn of the north?
You just shot yourself in the balls by exposing his naivety.

It's funny that Kwankwaso's definition of being bigger than Peter Obi is having a certificate, not popularity. Perhaps he needs to be reminded that Buhari had a questionable O'level certificate while an Osinbajo with a PhD in law deputised him. Kwankwaso, obviously, learnt nothing from the last election.

Kwakwaso should go and vice Sowore
