The NNPP presidential candidate said he once served as the deputy speaker for the House of Assembly, an experience Obi does not have.
He added that he played part in the national constitutional conference, worked with the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and also served as a senator
The former Kano governor also said his educational qualification is not the same as that of Obi.

Kwankwaso also spoke about the campaign rallies so far and his party's chances in the upcoming election.
He said the NNPP's chance is bright and expressed optimism that he will succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
APC and PDP are dead parties, says Kwankwaso
In another report, the NNPP presidential candidate said the All Progressives Congress, (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), were dead parties.
Kwankwaso said the NNPP is the credible alternative in 2023.
“APC has proven to be worse than PDP. They are dead parties and if anyone thinks they will change for good, such person is either deceiving himself or being mischievous," he said.
