I Will Lose, Obi Will Lose If… — Kwankwaso

In the event that Peter Obi runs for president of the projected NNPP-LP coalition in the 2023 general elections, Rabiu Kwankwaso, the NNPP’s presidential candidate, has predicted that both he and Obi will lose because the electorates in the North won’t vote for Obi.

Kwankwaso made this statement during a guest appearance on Sunday Politics, a current affairs programme on Channels Television.

The former governor of Kano State claimed that the electorate in the north will always support a candidate from their region.

Kwankwaso responded when questioned about accepting the position as Obi’s running mate: “What I am telling you is that if anybody from the South-East now, under this circumstance, becomes the presidential candidate of our party or any other party, the implications is that because of the activities and other issues that are really on the ground, northern voters will certainly go for their northern candidate and another party.

“So, the thinking is not whether I like it or I don’t, the fact remains that everybody will lose.

“He [Obi] will lose and I will lose.”

Speaking on the likelihood of the NNPP-LP alliance, Kwankwaso said, “Yes, I believe that it will happen, but we also believe that there are some challenges that we are having, especially from the side of the Labour Party itself, because there are so many influences – some on their side, negative and even the positive side. We have a situation today where there are some people who are in other parties, who are also influencing the decision of that party (LP). I believe it is not good for the party.”
