Why I Picked Kwankwaso As My Running Mate – Peter Obi

The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, has explained why he chose former Kano State governor and Kwankwasiyya Movement leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, as his running mate for the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking in an interview with The Sun published on Sunday, Obi said the decision was driven by their shared vision of lifting Nigerians out of poverty through education and economic development.

According to him, Kwankwaso’s philosophy aligns with his own agenda for transforming the country.

“Kwankwaso has the philosophy of pulling people out of poverty.

“I have the same philosophy. Kwankwaso believes in education. You cannot change society without education.

“If you look at my X, formerly Twitter, I made it clear that I will emphasise education. Education is going to change society.

“Nigeria must be seen to form its innermost human capital, which we need to develop. Kwankwaso believes in this. I do. We have synergy,” Obi said.
