All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Goriola Yakub has expressed doubts that Rabiu Kwankwaso's decision to become Peter Obi's running mate in the Nigerian presidential race will benefit Kwankwaso's ambitions in 2031. Speaking to Trust TV, Yakub suggested that the move could prove to be Kwankwaso's worst political decision. According to Yakub, Kwankwaso had previously stated his objective of either being a vice presidential candidate or a presidential candidate, and his recent choice seems to contradict that.
Yakub stated, "But I want to tell you something that it could turn out to be Kwankwaso’s worst political move if he thinks that this would help his 2031." The former Anambra State governor, Yakub added, does not have a pathway to success in Northern Nigeria, further suggesting that his decision to run with Obi, who has no electoral support in the North, is unlikely to yield positive results for both candidates.
