Kwankwaso has much longer, distinguished resume than Peter Obi – Buhari’s ex-aide

Former media aide to the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, has said the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso has a much longer and more distinguished political résumé than the party’s flag bearer, Peter Obi.

Ahmad said Kwankwaso and Obi can best be described as political colleagues and not a principal and a subordinate.

Posting on X, Ahmad said Kwankwaso’s decision to be Obi‘s running mate should be seen as a sign of political humility.

He wrote: “To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi. The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.

“Before Peter Obi entered national Politics, Kwankwaso was already working as Deputy Speaker in the House of Representatives.
