‘Nigerians should let Obi finish the South’s presidential term,’ says Kwankwaso

Rabiu Kwankwaso, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential running mate, says he set aside his political ambitions to support Peter Obi, whom he considers credible and trustworthy. Speaking to journalists at his home in Kano on Sunday, he urged Nigerians to let Obi complete the South’s presidential term. Kwankwaso said he had run for president three times in a row and stopped his campaign so the South could be represented, arguing that this would make the political system fairer.
