Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ahead of the forthcoming presidential election, a chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Osita Okechukwu, has said his party is only worried about Peter Obi, the Labour Party\u2019s presidential candidate and not about Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).<\/p>\n

Okechukwu also said Bola Tinubu, APC\u2019s presidential candidate, has come a long way and knows the country very well to win the 2023 presidential election, among other candidates.<\/p>\n

The Director General of the Voice of Nigeria disclosed this on Monday morning while featuring on the Arise Television Morning Show programme.<\/p>\n

He said Atiku had lost his base and that he could not harvest Buhari\u2019s 12 million votes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs per Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, what nobody can deny is that he knows the onion. He knows the gravitas, he knows the country, and he has come a long way. And we are not bothered about PDP; for instance, Atiku has lost his base.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are more bothered about Peter Obi and others. Kwankwaso, we know he is qualified and highly capable, but he is riding against the zoning convention. And so, if you tell us about Peter Obi, then we can say, ok, that is where we are worried, but not about Atiku, who has lost his base.<\/p>\n

\u201cAtiku cannot win; I challenge those who are saying so. He cannot harvest Buhari\u2019s 12 million votes; he cannot. He does not have Buhari\u2019s vote bank,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
