2027: Obi Ticket Unrivaled in Trustworthiness and Competence, Says Kwankwaso

n n

Vice-Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, says the Peter Obi-Rabiu Kwankwaso ticket is unbeatable in terms of credibility and capacity.

n

Kwankwaso made the assertion while featuring on the News Agency of Nigeria Personality Interview Series on Sunday in Abuja.

n

According to him, the combination of Obi and himself is capable of defeating any other contender in the 2027 presidential election.

n

The former governor said the decision for both of them to come together was to produce a balanced ticket that would unite Nigerians across regional and religious divides.

n

He said the ticket combined Obi’s strong support in the South and his political influence in the North to create a broad national political platform.

n

“Nobody, no ticket, can beat our own in terms of credibility, capacity and, of course, love for the country.

n

“Even in terms of empathy for the poor who are suffering across the country today, no other contender can match us,” he said.

n

Kwankwaso said his experience from the 2023 election had also helped him to understand the former Anambra governor better and had convinced him that both of them could work together.

n

He said the country needed a change because of worsening insecurity, poverty, deteriorating infrastructure and challenges confronting farmers.

n

He added that the removal of the fuel subsidy had not translated into improved living conditions for Nigerians, while farmers were also struggling because of cheap imported food.

n

The former Kano State governor said the alliance among the Kwankwasiyya Movement, NDC and Obi’s supporters was aimed at bringing about a democratic change similar to the change witnessed in 2015.

n

He said the partnership was also built on the principles of fairness, justice and equity, stressing that both leaders were committed to improving the lives of Nigerians.

n

Kwankwaso said he accepted the vice-presidential position in the interest of national service, which should not be viewed solely from the perspective of occupying the number two position. (NAN)
