Peter Obi Enjoys Massive Support in South And North, Kwankwaso Reveals

Kwankwaso made the appeal during an interview with Trust TV on Sunday, where he discussed expectations for the upcoming polls.

The former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) stressed that political success for Northerners and Muslims cannot be achieved without the support of Christians and other regions of the country.

“We must look beyond tribe and religion. We are Northerners and Muslims, and everybody knows that, but we can’t play politics without Christians, Southeast, South-South or South-west,” he said.

He also praised Labour Party’s former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, describing him as a widely accepted political figure across Nigeria.

“If you look at it, Peter Obi is a very popular politician in the entire South and many parts of Northern Nigeria, and you cannot take that from him, the same with the Kwankwasiyya movement,” Kwankwaso stated.

The former Kano State governor further noted that the Kwankwasiyya movement is largely driven by young Nigerians who are eager for positive change.

“We are lucky that our supporters are mainly young men and women who are looking for a way out. They are not looking for their brothers or their sisters or somebody close,” he added.
