Adding Obi and/or Kwankwaso as major candidates

Right now (June 2022) I'm the main editor of this page but as the election nears, I assume this topic will become a point of contention so I'm pre-emptively starting the discussion now. Just by virtue of their former offices, Obi and Kwankwaso would not automatically qualify as major candidates since being former governor does not automatically make one a major candidate; however, both Obi and Kwankwaso have had considerable coverage as prominent candidates so here editors can compile sources (for or against them being listed as major) and other rationale.

Obi
- Obi's candidacy has been recognized by INEC as one of the factors behind a recent surge in voter registration and this is also a fact that is well known on social media. Furthermore, several TV media as well as other groups discussing the topic of presidential elections regularly include Obi as a major candidate.
