Mr Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, has vowed to create an inclusive government in partnership with his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Obi said in his government, the Vice President would never be considered as a “spare tyre” because Kwankwaso would be actively involved.
On Saturday at the NDC national convention in Abuja, Obi named Kwankwaso as his running mate.
Obi and Kwankwaso took part in the last presidential election but ended up in third and fourth place, respectively.
They were behind former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and President Bola Tinubu, who was announced as the winner.
Kwankwaso ran for election with the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and only won in Kano, a state where he still has a strong political presence.
Obi noted that Kwankwaso believes in the same values, especially the idea of a fair society where anyone, no matter their background, has the chance to succeed.
