On their alliance with Labour Party presidential candidate, Kwankwaso said he refused to withdraw for Peter Obi because he is more experienced than him.
“He (Peter Obi) served as governor only but I have done various jobs; I worked for the government for 17 years, he did not do it, I became the deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, he did not do it. I participated in the constitutional conference, he didn’t.
“Apart from these, I was a senator, he didn’t, Even our education, if you look at it, you will understand that It’s not the same,” he said.
