Bashir Ahmed, a former media aide to ex-President Muhammad Buhari, asserted that Peter Obi is “politically bigger” than Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Ahmed expressed his views in a post on his verified X handle on Saturday, as reported by Kano Times.
He stated, “Even though I have never been a Kwankwasiyya loyalist, 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, he disagreed with Kwankwaso’s recent claim during an interview in Kano that he is politically more significant than 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.”
Ahmed concluded that these figures indicate Obi’s greater political influence, stating, “So, Peter Obi is bigger than Rabiu Kwankwaso, politically.”
