Goriola Yakub, an All Progressives Congress chieftain, has stated that the decision of Rabiu Kwankwaso to join Peter Obi as his presidential running mate will not benefit Kwankwaso's ambitions for 2031. In an interview with Trust TV, Yakub expressed that Kwankwaso's move could prove to be his worst political decision. According to Yakub, Kwankwaso had previously explained his reasons for not wanting to be a running mate to Obi in 2022, stating that his goal was to either be a vice president or a presidential candidate.
Yakub further indicated that Kwankwaso has no pathway to success in Northern Nigeria, as Obi does not have any strong support base in the region. Yakub concluded by questioning how Kwankwaso could deliver the North to Obi, if he himself could not achieve that as the leading candidate.
