Ibekimi Oriamaja Reports
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), would pose a challenge to Bola Tinubu’s bid for the presidency, according to a lawmaker elected over the weekend on the APC platform.
The lawmaker told Sun, under the condition of anonymity, that churches and young people across had embraced Obi very well.
He added that the APC might not win Lagos State if the rising popularity of Obi did not wane.
The congressman claimed that Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential nominee, might possibly lose the South-East and South-South to Obi.
He stated, “A Muslim-Muslim ticket might cost the APC the entire South. Today, the APC is unable to win any South East or South South state. The APC won’t prevail in Lagos State if elections were held right now. The party might succeed in Ekiti and Ogun if it’s fortunate. The PDP is going up against the APC in Osun, Ondo, and Oyo. The APC’s options are so constrained.
In 2023, President Muhammadu Buhari won’t be up for election. That indicates that Atiku will be the North’s top pick. In the Northeast, Atiku will triumph. Due to the significant Hausa and Fulani populations there, he will also triumph in the North West.
“North Central is where the PDP’s core foot soldiers are. The chances of APC winning that geopolitical region are uncertain. As a result of the new Electoral Act, it is now more challenging. Government House results writing is a thing of the past. If votes matter, APC will have difficulties.
How can Atiku win for the PDP if the entire South East and South South don’t support him? Despite his popularity, Buhari lost three elections before the South supported him.
The issues are as follows. Obi probably won’t prevail. Although I don’t see it happening, he is seriously upsetting the PDP and APC, the two big parties.
