The presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, Mr. Peter Obi, has pledged that Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso will serve as his vice president “as a partner, not a spare tyre,” if elected in the 2027 general elections.
Obi stated this in his acceptance speech following his nomination as the NDC presidential candidate, contained in a statement posted on his X handle on Sunday.
PUNCH Online reports that the former Anambra state governor formally announced Kwankwaso as his running mate on Saturday.
Both Obi and Kwankwaso contested the last presidential election, finishing third and fourth respectively.
They trailed former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and President Bola Tinubu, who was declared winner of the election.
