In a trending video clip on X microblogging platform, the former governor of Kano State who spoke on Hausa, said he would be willing to deputise Obi “if certain conditions are met”.
According to Kwankwaso, he is politically bigger than Obi.
He stated that he and Peter Obi are willing to engage in meaningful discussions with the LP leader to establish an agreement ahead of the 2027 elections.
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 deputising Peter Obi, but only if certain conditions are met.
“We are willing to engage in discussions, provided that trust is established.”
Peter Obi came third in the last general elections.
He garnered about 6,101,533 votes.
Kwankwaso won the election in 38 of the 44 local government areas in Kano State, garnering a total of 1,496,687 votes in the elections.
SaharaReporters had reported that Kwankwaso has been critical of the Bola Tinubu-led Nigerian government, accusing it of politicising the distribution of rice palliatives in Kano State.
In a post via X, Kwankwaso had alleged that rice meant to be shared by the state government were handed over to APC stalwarts and cronies in the state.
“For the last one week I have been in Kano, and sadly I noted with great disappointment the Federal Government distribution of rice palliative to 35 states all through their Governors, except Kano State in the whole federation.”
“Kano’s share was handed over to APC stalwarts to handle. This is a gross insult to our constitutional democracy and driving partisanship too far.”
He called on the President to stop the “derailment of democracy.”
“I call on Mr. President to immediately halt this naked derailment of democracy.”
The federal government had distributed rice to states as palliatives to cushion economic hardship and food inflation rocking the country.
