Jibrin stated this on Sunday during an interview on Channels Television amid reports that the Kwankwaso is in talks with Obi over a planned merger.<\/p>\n

He explained that Kwankwaso, who according to him is one of the most popular politicians in the northern part of the country, would garner at least 70% of total votes, stressing that Obi can only poll 30%.<\/p>\n

According to him, Kwankwaso is more experienced than Obi and cannot deputize the Labour Party candidate.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cVery clearly, Kwankwaso will not be a running mate to Peter Obi. By every standard, Kwankwaso should be the presidential candidate due to his numerous experiences\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day , when you look at contribution in terms of votes, it will be a ratio of about 70 to 30%. We are looking at bringing 70% of votes from the North\u201d.<\/p>\n
