The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has claimed that votes cast in one of the state’s Local Government Areas will cancel all votes cast in Anambra State for the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the 2023 presidential election.
El-Rufai described Obi as a Nollywood actor who cannot win the 2023 presidential election.
According to the Kaduna State Governor, the presidential race is between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
El-Rufai dismissed Obi’s popularity, saying he’ll only get votes in the South-East and some parts of the South-South.
In an interview with TVC, El-Rufai said only one Local Government Area in Kaduna will cancel votes in Anambra.
“Doing 70 percent in Anambra State does not mean somebody doing 10 percent in Kano is not better than you.
“Kano is 4 million votes…Yes, Peter Obi will sweep Southern States, he will do well in South-South, where else?” He queried.
El-Rufai added that Obi is not polling well in the South-West “other than a drop of ocean in Lagos”.
“He is polling in Christian enclaves in the North, but how many are they?” the governor quipped.
The LP flagbearer was governor of the State for eight years under the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) platform.
