Nasir El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State, has stated that Peter Obi cannot win the presidential election in 2023.
El-Rufai claimed the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate lacks numbers, referring to him as a Nollywood actor.
He declared that the race is between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
El-Rufai dismissed Obi’s popularity, claiming that he will only receive votes from the South-East and parts of the South-South.
Votes in only one Local Government Area in Kaduna, according to the APC stalwart, will cancel votes in Anambra.
The LP flag-bearer served as governor of the state for eight years under the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
El-Rufai told TVC that Obi is polling one percent in Sokoto, two percent in Katsina, and five percent in Kano.
“Just because you’re doing 70% in Anambra State doesn’t mean someone doing 10% in Kano isn’t better than you”.
“4 million votes for Kano,” he said.
Yes, Peter Obi will sweep the Southern States, and he will do well in the South-South. He inquired.
El-Rufai added Obi is not polling well in the South-West “other than a drop of the ocean in Lagos”.
“He’s polling in Christian enclaves in the North, but how many are there?” quipped the governor.
He said “ethnicity and religious bigotry will not take you anywhere”, maintaining that the election is APC versus PDP “because they have the footprint”.
Peter Obi will compete with Bola Tinubu of the APC, PDP’s Atiku Abubakar, and NNPP’s Rabiu Kwankwaso on February 25.
