I am bigger than Peter Obi politically, I have no problem deputizing him – Kwankwaso
Rabiu Kwankwaso, the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has indicated a potential willingness to serve as Peter Obi’s running mate in the 2027 elections.
In a video trending on the X platform, Kwankwaso, speaking in Hausa, stated he would consider deputizing Obi if certain conditions are met. He also emphasized that, despite claiming to be politically stronger than Obi, he is open to discussions with the Labour Party leader to reach an agreement for the future.
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”.
