Bashir Ahmed, a former media aide to ex-President Muhammad
Buhari, has said that Peter Obi is ‘politically bigger’ than Rabiu Musa
Kwankwaso.
Ahmad made the assertion in a post on X.
He wrote: “Even though I have never been a Kwankwasiyya
loyalist, but I have always admired and respected Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and
see him 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.”
