A recent report alleging that the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 election, Rabiu Kwankwaso, had offered to be a running mate to Labour Party’s Peter Obi in the 2027 election, is still whipping up reactions with the latest coming from Buba Galadima.
Galadima, a prominent member of the NNPP, and a political ally of Kwankwaso, has highlighted some reasons why Kwankwaso will not accept to be Obi’s running mate.
He heaped the blame of the misinformation on media outlets, noting that many misinterpreted Kwankwaso’s stance regarding the potential of becoming Obi’s running mate.
According to him, Kwankwaso has neither considered nor will consider this option for the 2027 presidential election.
He emphasized that Kwankwaso is fully prepared to assume the presidency in 2027, asserting that Kwankwaso possesses both the political acumen and intellectual capability necessary to address Nigeria’s challenges if elected.

Furthermore, the NNPP chieftain disclosed that Kwankwaso is far ahead of Obi in everything.
Kwankwaso Humiliated Peter Obi
He advised Peter Obi to join the Kwankwasiyya Movement to aid in liberating Nigeria from the burdens of ineffective leadership.
“The NNPP presidential flagbearer is far ahead of the former Anambra state Governor in everything.
“So, saying that Kwankwaso will serve as Obi’s running mate in next three years is like relegating him to the background as such speculation does not hold water.
“To those that have listened and clearly understood the interview, what Senator Kwankwaso said was like humiliating Peter Obi not the opposite.”
