He expressed willingness to serve as Obi's deputy, provided specific conditions and mutual trust were established. Kwankwaso emphasized the importance of aligning on shared goals before moving forward with any partnership.

He urged Tinubu to take immediate action, claiming such moves undermine democratic principles.
