Former member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin
Jibrin, has ruled out speculations that the presidential candidate of the New
Nigeria’s Peoples Party, NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso will be a running mate to his
Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi.
Jibrin stated this on Sunday during an interview on Channels
Television amid reports that the Kwankwaso is in talks with Obi over a planned
merger.
He explained that Kwankwaso, who according to him is one of
the most popular politicians in the northern part of the country, would garner
at least 70% of total votes, stressing that Obi can only poll 30%.
According to him, Kwankwaso is more experienced than Obi and
cannot deputize the Labour Party candidate.
He said, “Very clearly, Kwankwaso will not be a running mate
to Peter Obi. By every standard, Kwankwaso should be the presidential candidate
due to his numerous experiences”.
“At the end of the day , when you look at contribution in
terms of votes, it will be a ratio of about 70 to 30%. We are looking at
bringing 70% of votes from the North”.
