The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, has lambasted the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
Kwankwaso said he’s a holder of doctorate degree, and has great experiences gathered in positions he’s served in the past.
The presidential candidate made this revelation at Chatham House in the United Kingdom on Wednesday.
He said he’s better than Obi to occupy the presidential villa as president of the country.
He said he discontinued the discussion of having an alliance with the LP because the party was “carried away by media hype” and built on “ethnicity and religion”.
“I’m a PhD holder in civil engineering. I check your candidate for what he has. I have been in the system for over 30 years now. I was a civil servant for 17 years. I wasn’t a trader,” he said.
“I was deputy speaker of the house in 1992; I was in the constitutional conference elected delegates. I was governor of Kano state for eight years. I was in the senate. If anyone wants Kwankwaso to withdraw, let’s bring criteria and select the best
“Anytime I have a better candidate, I’m ready to talk to him. If you have a party which is based on ethnicity and religion — that is the difference between the Labour Party and our party, which is a national party.”
