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.”
