Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has doubled down on his attack against his opponents ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

Among the contestants in next year’s presidential race are Bola Tinubu (All Progressives Congress), Atiku Abubakar (Peoples Democratic Party) and Peter Obi (Labour Party).

In a video posted on Twitter, Mr Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano, reiterated his credentials as a bona fide candidate to rule Nigeria after the exit of incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari.

In the video, the ex-Kano governor fielded questions in the Hausa language, the NNPP standard-bearer explained that he has a rich understanding of how the Nigerian government operates and is the best among the presidential contestants.

“Nigerians should vote wisely this time around, as the country needs someone who can save it,” stated Mr Kwankwaso, presenting himself as the saviour.

The NNPP candidate added, “I’ve worked with the ministry of defence, served as the Kano state governor and represented Kano Central senatorial district for several years with enough knowledge to know what is needed.”

He also touted his educational qualifications with a veiled caustic comment aimed at Messrs Tinubu and Abubakar.

“I am a PhD holder, unlike a secondary school cert holder or diploma cert holder. I do not ‘bedwet’, nor am I a spare tyre,” said Mr Kwankwaso.

The NNPP’s spare tyre jab could refer to Mr Abubakar, a two-time vice president. The term spare tyre is considered demeaning by many politicians, including incumbent Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who prefers to be called “copilot.”

In July, Mr Kwankwaso specifically advised Mr Tinubu to focus on his failing health instead of engaging in the rigour of electioneering.

Last February, a video depicting Mr Tinubu’s soaked dress and probable odour dominated discussion across social media. At the palace of Awujale of Ijebuland in Ijebu Ode, the APC presidential standard-bearer’s dress was soaked behind when he stood up, with his security aide frantically covering his nose.

Later, interior minister Rauf Aregbesola, Mr Tinubu’s estranged ally, alluded to the incident, declaring “won ti n to ara” (they’re already urinating on themselves)

In September, a photograph of Mr Tinubu emerged wearing an inner device believed to be a ‘catheter bag’ to expel urine, further raising questions about his frail health status ahead of the 2023 general election.

unlike a secondary school cert holder

Someone presented GCE as his highest educational qualification.

If not that the best Peter Obi is in the race, I would have gone for Kwankwaso.
But Obi is the next president of Nigeria.

The same Obi who failed as Anambra State governor or which Obi?

Tinubu is going nowhere in this election, he is going to fail woefully. Obidient is the way forward. Vote Peter Obi, vote for a better Nigeria of our dreams.

Where did you learn the emboldened expression from?

That's the most prominent trademark of obedients

Face Kwankwaso who insulted your principal and leave Obi alone.For the record what he did in Anambra is still glaring for everyone to see but none could be said of the ekeku and thiefing drug baron when he was the governor of Lagos state.

Urchins and their lies be like prick and kpekus

Just look at all the comments by the senseless urchins above me, you won't see any of them condemn what kwankwanso said, it's obi that's their problem.
By the way, the odds are already favoring obi, you guys can wail more till next year February when Obi will be announced as the president of the federal republic of Nigeria, you can then kill yourselfs.

Me too. Only Obi and kwakwanso are credible candidates in the coming elections
The shot fired by kwakwanso at Tinubu and Atiku's camps are a proof he wouldn't collapse any structures with them as widely speculated. He knows what he's doing. He wants to retain kano and a couple of other northern states. His party would end up a regional party as usual

The funniest things is that, their push and start candidate don't have any stronghold, Southwest he his claiming as his stronghold don't trust him, most christian are against him, Afenifere doesn't want him. South south and southeast east are so wise that they wouldn't risk another calamity to come and head the helms of affair of this great country. The North he his ass-licking aren't dependable, as the two strong men in the name of Atiku and kwankwanso are the most preferred candidate over there.
Finally, they should give thanks to Obi for finally killing their chances in the northern central region, as the middle-beltans now see him as the only messiah that can rescue them from the hands of political sponsored killings going on in that region.

I'm from SW. I don't want to hurt any urchins here. Whatever I say on the outcome of 2023 elections could cause them to have a bad day. Let me reserve my comment, for now.

Obi is even more popular than Tinubu in some northern states. Did you see the empty stadium where they held their campaign in Kaduna recently despite Elrufai's presence? That is a clear message to them

Afonjas and fear. Even online they are afraid of aboki. See insult..... i do not bedwet but afonjas are so fearful to utter a reply

I have never seen anyone in nairaland who lacks a sense of direction as that guy. So empty and lacking in content. He claims to be a rich guy yet, whenever you open any political thread his fingerprints are over the place spewing rubbish. This thread is a direct attack on his principal but he is so cowardly to respond to the insult rather he chose to turn his anger on Obi what a person.

In the kaduna campaign, most of the people that came were been forced to, and they hired people from other places just to safe face.

Shots fired! shots fired!! i repeat shots fired!!!. A pamper wearing druggie have been fired on his left buttocks by an intercontinental ballistic word missile from Rabiu musa kwankwaso.

Baba wey no well,e dey shout emilokan, lol.

Fatality.... Kano, Jigawa, Kebbi, Sokoto, Katsina, Zamfara, sai a kwankwasiyyar zaben

An old man that should be resting and enjoying his loot is still contesting to be president.
