Kwankwaso stated this while speaking with reporters after inaugurating the state office of the NNPP in Gombe State.
According to him, even if Obi accepts to become his vice-presidential candidate, people from his region will reject it. “Even if my friend [Peter Obi] wants to accept the vice-presidential candidate, some people in the south-east will not accept, that is not strategic.Kwankwaso and Obi have been locked in talks over a possible merger or working together ahead of the 2023 general election.
Go and test ur popularity on that day,obi will rule over you
Lol they keep trying to make OBIdient movent about Igbos &the SEs...banking on the residual hate. Look it won't work. The youth are fighting for their future. Obi is not a SE candidate, he is our HOPE for an end to THIS MADNESS that is NIGERIA Northernersforobi PeterObi NNPP
Just as north will block you from becoming Peter Obi running mate
Kwankwaso is a jobless person that's is why he went around to talk as a jobless type. That's is the mayor problems that we always have in this country, when someone pass you he pass you stop parade yourself be talking something that is not relevant about that porson.
Make him concentrate on his NNPP na leave us and OBI alone. Let's see how he wins either. Common sense is not common at all.....
Oga there's no way Peter Obi can be your vice. If you feel too big to be his running mate, then forget about it..
With all due respect to Kwankwaso, I will advise you to quietly look for running mate elsewhere, let Peter too look elsewhere, let everyone try his mettle come 2023
Mad man is talking in the nonsense.... The same Kwankwaso said Northerners Won’t Vote Peter Obi For President Because Of Biafra Agitations In South-East – Kwankwaso. Bokoharam massacre 47 Nigeria soldiers in Niger state... Buhari didn't resign. Tribalism kee you there.
He can't be your running mate unless you have to be his running mate se won ni ko ma fi Ori ti won gba pa ro ni
Oga, you were dreaming that Peter Obi would be your VP. Wake up
Dear Kwankwanso, Can you be president without the east of west? Can you win the election alone with you popularity as at today ? PO can win with the power of the youths from all Nigeria. Be wise
Any one that really won't Nigeria unity will not support North to take over from buhari North, problem ahead
lol this egomaniac. he dont even know how popular PETER OBI among youths in this country which is like 70% of Nigeria population
What stop you to be Peter Obi running mate ? If you can't be running mate to Peter Obi forget it and continue yourself movement Kwankwaso . Politics isn't by seniority understanding matters
Is not my business, atikulated all the way
“Any day I leave APGA, let my wife and children die”—- Peter Obi. Trust such at your own peril.
We move kwankwaso have a nice day. PeterObi4President2023
I don finally hear Fulani herdsman part of the story true true watin Nigeria do e no good
Oga pack well. We are not interested. Go and find your running mate. Leave PO alone
If Obi wanted to be running mate, he would have remained in PDP
Till the time comes,we shall see Obi at the top 🔝🎩
Kwonkwasiya kawai zallah
You think you are now the beautiful bride right? Suitors are flocking around you. Don't worry, age/ time will soon take a toll on you. Politicians should drop Ego and work towards making Nigeria a better place. People have suffered enough.
If you become Peter Obi's running mate, what will happen?
The movement is not tribalistic nor religious.... It's for a common goal 'NEW NIGERIA'. We are united irrespective of our religion and tribe..
Just imagine his thinking pattern. If he becomes vp and they win, he won't hesitate to take all the credit. Nigerian youths have been in the trenches fighting to free Nigeria from political merchants.
You can't even enter in your state kano😂😂
People always say that igbos are their own problem and they decide to give you the best and now I don't think they are their own problem now but we from other parts of the country seems to be their problem it's high time we support the best
Idiot
Na you suppose to step down for Peter obi ooo
The entitlement, 'this is very strategic, if they lose it, it will be disaster' what bloody disaster, disaster that will affect only the SE. His mentality is no different.
This man is overrating himself
The Peter Obi Movement is bigger than PeterObi and NGLabourParty. It's beyond party politics. It's a nationwide movement, an ideology to rescue and take back Nigeria. Kwankwaso would have benefilled from the nationwide movement if he had a patriotic spirit.
Why is everyone of 2023 presidential candidates always like to insult Peter Obi for no reason
You are better off with being Obi's running mate.
KwankwasoRM we agree that you are more qualified and experienced but for equity, justice and fairness PeterObi should be the presidential candidate while you be the running mate, if you guys win we will definitely support you in 2031 when power will duly return to North.
You are openly telling us that you cannot do without PO, well, as for the OBIDIENT family, we will serve the Lord with all our hearts. Go and choose Buhari and leave our PO alone. We no wan talk too much on this matter again. Better still, go carry Wike the Igbolabi join body.
What is blocking you too, stop this sentiments, the nigerian youth want Peter Obi not just the south east, be real
And the North will block you from becoming Peter obi's running mate
Peter OBI is a movement please this man is a big distraction.
It's not a matter of south east. I'm not from the east, but if obi choose to be ur running mate, I won't vote on election day. I go stay house. Obi is the movement, I'm not voting for the east, I'm casting my vote for a man I believe can liberate Nigeria
Look at this fool?
Please Sir PeterObi , We don't want you as DEPUTY running mate. We want you as a Presidential candidate. Please don't succumb to any merger if you'll be VP.
Can this man say something without mentioning obi?
Peter Obi can never be your running mate. Nigerian youths will never allow it happen. Obi needs a like minded running mate to succeed.
He is already blocked Not SE but the Nigerian youths
Northerners thinks they own Nigeria! Na Wike fit ona!
PO is not playing regional politics, Nigeria from all over the zones want him to be President. not South East only.
Most definitely, how can he be a running mate to anyone at this time?
I can hear the great legend of kano saying the reason he can not be vice to anybody because he don't want to destroyed the structure of his party but can there by any good structure in a source a country nothing work, in rescue mission can we consider source, remember who is APC
Peter Obi has never said anything about Kwankwaso in public. Yet Kwankwaso keeps using Obi for publicity
Peter obi can never be ur VP
Why should he be your running mate, why can't you be his running mate?
If Peter Obi was desperate for the VP slot should have remained in the PDP.
Day dreamer
How will Peter obi be your running mate? Are you more qualified than him? If you don't want to be Peter's running mate them stop the merger talk.
This is another selfish politician , peter Obi doesn't need u to win , he needs the masses dt v their PVCs
Northern government can't handover to another northerner. Pls let's not make it look as if the country lack or don't have respect for others, kwankwaso should do the needful northern time will soon come, I like kwankwaso and I respect him, I was in Kano during his tenure as govn
You don’t have the grace to be a president yet joe baiden was humble to Obama why can’t you be humble to obi you can still be president after obi so he can pass the grace to you like Obama and joe baiden
He didn't get popularity he wanted during the merger talks, now everyday Obi this Obi that, he should go for Rochas abeg
The same way the North will block Kwankwaso from becoming Peter Obi's running mate
This man is a big joke😂
Obi movement is not a south East nor north east thing o.. it’s a youth led national movement that knows not political affiliations or tribalism.
Oga go sleep… obidients no need u again. So go and rest!
Why kwankwaso so demanding of Peter Obi as 'RUNNING MATE' is because to him a. it's his entitlement b. PO is from the Vanguished tribe c. Maybe, he's doing PO a favour d. A chance for the SE to become president in Nigeria e. He knows what SE don't know of their fate in Nigeria.
How did you know?
Peter Obi is running for the presidency for a reason beyond your capacity and capability.Return Nigeria to the path of sanity and give our youths hope for a better future.Two of you are not sharing same philosophy.
Comrade if you don't want to join the youths in redeeming this country through being a Vp, then try run your own race. We now moveee regardless
It’s not only people from SE that will reject this preposterous idea but all of us Nigerians who want a competent President. PeterObi has gone beyond being a second fiddle. If Kwankwaso truly wants a formidable third force, he should come over to team up.
Kwankwaso have being talking about Peter Obi this few weeks, peter has not said anything about kwankwaso in the media if you notice. I don't see why he thinks East will block peter from becoming his running mate. It's PO-ssible to be the president bcos the youth vote will count.
Peter can never be your running mate oga, search else where
Just like the north will block you from becoming obi running mate?
Whatever Nigerian politicians vying for President 2023 sees in Peter Obi that qualifies him for VP. We Nigerian youths have seen same and wants PO for President
If Obi falls for this crap and becomes a VP candidate, it's over. I won't vote for anyone. No need!
Vice president outside SE loading
Stop disturbing our peace. Obi is not destined to be your vice. Based on your track record you are qualified to be PO vice. So if you're really interested in leadership lower your pride and serve the country or you can keep your pride and go test your popularity.
He’s a mole…run alone let’s split them vote.
Kwankwaso left PDP, PDP guys don't attack him. They rarely talk about him. Peter Obi left PDP peacefully, with a kind heart, it's months now, and PDP has refused to let him rest. Did Peter Obi leave with their structure?
Kwankwaso has come up with his tribal sentiments again. I wonder if he can't do without Peter Obi being his running mate
Southeast will be your nightmare!
You people from south-east are more selfishness, you said a lot about KWANKWASO not realizing that he deserves respect from you.
This guy kwankwanso is seriously interested in Peter obi he wants him badly but don't know were to start from nonsense
These people think we're all fools. We don hear Oga. Go and do your thing make we move. Peter Obi or nothing.
Why these people can't do without calling Obi name
You want to run as president because you feel the north will give you the highest number of votes. You're coming from a tribal angle and that is not what the youths of this country is looking for. Mr Peter Obi is coming from the angle of saving Nigeria and that is what we want.
Not just south east but SOUTH, is like the northern nigeria are becoming greedy
I want to believe that this statements are not directly from Kwankwaso. If you think you're are too popular to beat Peter Obi, wait till February 2023. You will soon discover you're an outdated species like Dino
Oga U should be his running mate
Sir Kwakwanso, We know politicians don't like Peter Obi cos he no dey give Shishi.. If you need to work with him, check for his street credibility, Go & Verify
Very good, because what we want is a referendum and free mnk fast or else?
This man..... Rest.
Why can’t you be his running mate sir 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Support SE to be president for once.
Kwankwaso is right. South East are not being strategic. They strongly believe that Peter Obi can win votes in the North or even South West because of Tweets and Likes. Obi may not be able to win even Anambra except on Twitter. But this doesn't concern me. It is BAT2023.
I have never seen a more selfish person than this man. So after 8 years of Buhari regime, you want to be president? I guess other parts of Nigeria are nothing in your eyes. I have never heard you mention anything you'd do if elected, the only thing that matters to you is PO
And the northern will block you from been peter obi vice,,,,, oga talk like a matured politican
Is this man Okay? The problem is that everyone talks like God in this Country. Igbo PDAAPC POLITICIANS are senseless and confused wicked men who has kept our Region politically backwards with no direction but 2023 will shock them ? They should keep this in record.
Honestly this man is foolish. Please PO doesn't need such a clueless man. Ps: I have bad mouth,if u give me,be ready to collect too. This is my comment, please drop urs n don't be unfortunate PeterObiForPresident2023
'If they lose it,it will be a disaster' 🤔 It is very glaring how SE is viewed - low class. 🤭 We are to be grateful to the opportunity offers by Kwankwaso to play second fiddle. 😳 It is POssible to win w/o looking down on people of a particular region, every vote counts.✌️
Oga stop distracting us. Go and contest and win your polling unit only, but with or without you, we move!
We need mental orientation free from tribal sentiment.
If you can vise him den nope
Oga kwankwaso, I've not seen any of your comment this days without mentioning Obi. If you don't want to be his running mate why not concentrate on hw to achieve ur ambition and leave Peter obi alone. Please try n be learning from him on how to talk, when to talk and what to talk.
KwankwasoRM leads the almajaris while PeterObi leads the youth , one thing the former failed to understand is the 2022 electoral act: not a business as usual where figure is written and underage are made to vote, INEC, officials and family are burnt in kano
Why can't you be Obi running mate
Playing the tribal cards again He knows Igbos are emotional people
You are a victim of your expectations.
Likewise you
Same man who said his NNPP will collapse if he becomes Obi's VP... 🙄 🤔 🤔
Who can Obi choose from the North? Any takes? That should be the conversation now.
Must he b ur running mate let guy b, look for another person naa why are u so particular about d guy Nigeria population is over 200m is he d only man u c.
Peter Obi is not a South-east candidate. He is a national candidate.
They can block anything just dialogue with PO and agree to a deal with him that is all
Yes of course
Jokes upon jokes, is either he becomes obi VP or he should stop talking about Peter obi
Obi cannot be your running mate. Contest your own let Peter obi contest his. If you're too big to be his running mate, you live him alone make everybody fight him fight alone
Your big mannerism will bring nothing but disgrace.
Who you eep
Oga focus and stop this your childish behaviour.
Nobody wants you Abegi 😂
