Vice-Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, says the Peter Obi-Rabiu Kwankwaso ticket is unbeatable in terms of credibility and capacity.\n<\/p>\n
Kwankwaso made the assertion while featuring on the News Agency of Nigeria Personality Interview Series on Sunday in Abuja.\n<\/p>\n
According to him, the combination of Obi and himself is capable of defeating any other contender in the 2027 presidential election.\n<\/p>\n
The former governor said the decision for both of them to come together was to produce a balanced ticket that would unite Nigerians across regional and religious divides.<\/p>\n
He said the ticket combined Obi\u2019s strong support in the South and his political influence in the North to create a broad national political platform.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody, no ticket, can beat our own in terms of credibility, capacity and, of course, love for the country.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cEven in terms of empathy for the poor who are suffering across the country today, no other contender can match us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Kwankwaso said his experience from the 2023 election had also helped him to understand the former Anambra governor better and had convinced him that both of them could work together.\n<\/p>\n
He said the country needed a change because of worsening insecurity, poverty, deteriorating infrastructure and challenges confronting farmers.\n<\/p>\n
He added that the removal of the fuel subsidy had not translated into improved living conditions for Nigerians, while farmers were also struggling because of cheap imported food.\n<\/p>\n
The former Kano State governor said the alliance among the Kwankwasiyya Movement, NDC and Obi\u2019s supporters was aimed at bringing about a democratic change similar to the change witnessed in 2015.\n<\/p>\n
He said the partnership was also built on the principles of fairness, justice and equity, stressing that both leaders were committed to improving the lives of Nigerians.\n<\/p>\n
Kwankwaso said he accepted the vice-presidential position in the interest of national service, which should not be viewed solely from the perspective of occupying the number two position.
