In The Last Few Months That We’ve Been Working Together, I Noted That Obi Is Incorruptible–Kwankwaso

According to a report by Daily Trust on Sunday, November 15, 2026, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Vice-Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has described the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as an incorruptible individual, saying his personal integrity is an important quality required for effective leadership and good governance in Nigeria.

Kwankwaso made the statement on Saturday during the fifth convocation ceremony of Skyline University of Nigeria in Kano State, where he spoke about his political relationship with Obi and the qualities he believes make the former Anambra State governor suitable for the country’s highest political office.

The former Kano State governor explained that his assessment of Obi was based on their interactions and political engagements over the past few months.

He indicated that working closely with the presidential candidate had given him the opportunity to understand his character, particularly his attitude towards public responsibilities and the management of resources.

According to Kwankwaso, personal integrity remains one of the most important qualities expected from anyone seeking to occupy a position of authority in Nigeria.

He maintained that the ability of political leaders to demonstrate honesty and accountability is essential to addressing the country’s governance challenges and restoring public confidence in government institutions.

The NDC vice-presidential candidate further emphasised that the country’s leadership requires individuals who can be trusted with public resources and responsibilities.

His remarks placed particular importance on the character of political officeholders, suggesting that integrity should remain a major consideration when assessing the suitability of individuals seeking elective positions.

Kwankwaso’s comments came amid the political partnership between him and Obi under the Nigeria Democratic Congress, where both politicians are working together ahead of the 2027 general election.

His endorsement of Obi’s character was based on the experience he said he had gained from their recent engagements, during which they had worked together on political activities.

Speaking at the university’s convocation ceremony in Kano, Kwankwaso highlighted what he considered one of Obi’s strongest personal attributes, drawing attention to the importance of honesty in public service.

He said, “One thing I noted in the last few months that we have been working together, is that Peter Obi is incorruptible.
