The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) vice-presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has explained why he sacrificed his presidential ambition in favour of the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Kwankwaso said he stepped aside because he considers Obi credible and believes the South should produce the next president.
Speaking during an interview with journalists at his residence in Kano on Sunday, the former Kano State governor said Nigerians should allow the South to complete its turn in the presidency.
He said: “I made a sacrifice for Peter Obi because he is credible and from the South. We have the same goals and beliefs. We are strong and can easily handle the country’s affairs.”

Kwankwaso also disclosed that he had contested for the presidency three consecutive times but decided to abandon his ambition to give the South an opportunity to produce the country’s leader through Obi.
The leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement maintained that allowing Obi to lead the country would promote fairness and equity in Nigeria’s political system.
