Rabiu Kwankwaso, the former Governor of Kano State, said that the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi, cannot win the presidential election in 2023.

Kwankwaso, who is contesting the election on the platform of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), made this comment during his appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.

He advised the handlers of the Peter Obi campaign to agree to an alliance that would see Obi as a running mate to him.

According to him, votes from the southeast region cannot guarantee him the presidency. He said that the support base of the Labour Party isn’t well spread, acknowledging the fact that the northwest, southwest, and northeast have overwhelming numbers that will make it extremely difficult for the party to gather the winning numbers.

He dismissed claims of him accepting to be a running mate to Obi and advised that the LP candidate should accept the vice-presidential slot offered to him by NNPP.
