The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has revealed why he decided on Kwankwasiyya Movement leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, as his running mate ahead the 2027 presidential election.
In an interview with The Sun, Obi explained that 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.
