Rabiu Kwankwaso, who was the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) presidential candidate in the last general elections, has expressed his willingness to serve as Peter Obi’s deputy in the 2027 presidential race.
In a video recently shared on X, the former governor of Kano State spoke in Hausa and voiced his willingness to support Obi “if certain conditions are met.”
Kwankwaso highlighted his political prominence by stating, “I have more political experience than Peter Obi; I am older and hold a PhD. My performance as governor of my state surpassed his achievements. I’m open to the idea of being Peter Obi’s deputy, but specific conditions need to be fulfilled.”
