In a tweet, Ahmad acknowledged his respect for Kwankwaso, whom he regards as a prominent progressive figure in Nigerian politics. However, he disagreed with the senator’s statement made during an interview in Kano, where Kwankwaso suggested he was politically bigger than Peter Obi.

Ahmad referenced the results of the 2023 presidential election to counter Kwankwaso’s claim. He pointed out that Peter Obi garnered 6,101,533 votes and won in 11 states, reflecting his broad national appeal. In comparison, Kwankwaso received 1,496,687 votes and only led in Kano State.

Concluding his argument, Ahmad tweeted, “These figures make it clear that, at least in the context of the 2023 election, Peter Obi commands significantly more political influence nationwide. Politically speaking, Peter Obi is bigger than Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.”

He added in his tweet:

“Even though I have never been a Kwankwasiyya loyalist, I have always admired and respected Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso as one of the progressive political figures we have in this country. However, I do not agree with his recent statement during his interview in Kano, where he claimed to be politically bigger than Peter Obi. Looking at the results from the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi garnered 6,101,533 votes and led in 11 states, demonstrating significant national support. In contrast, Senator Kwankwaso secured 1,496,687 votes and led in just one state, Kano. These numbers clearly suggest that, at least in the context of the 2023 election, Peter Obi has significantly more political influence across the country. So, Peter Obi is bigger than Rabiu Kwankwaso, politically.”
