Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has stated that Peter Obi cannot win the 2023 presidential election.<\/p>\n

El-Rufai said the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate does not have the numbers, describing him as a Nollywood actor.<\/p>\n

The race is between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he declared.<\/p>\n

El-Rufai dismissed Obi\u2019s popularity, saying he\u2019ll only get votes in the South-East and some parts of the South-South.<\/p>\n

The APC stalwart said votes in only one Local Government Area in Kaduna will cancel votes in Anambra.<\/p>\n

The LP flagbearer was governor of the State for eight years under the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) platform.<\/p>\n

In an interview with TVC, El-Rufai said Obi is polling one percent in Sokoto, two percent in Katsina, and five percent in Kano.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoing 70 percent in Anambra State does not mean somebody doing 10 percent in Kano is not better than you.<\/p>\n

\u201cKano is 4 million votes…Yes, Peter Obi will sweep Southern States, he will do well in South-South, where else?\u201d He queried.<\/p>\n

El-Rufai added that Obi is not polling well in the South-West \u201cother than a drop of ocean in Lagos\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is polling in Christian enclaves in the North, but how many are they?\u201d the governor quipped.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cethnicity and religious bigotry will not take you anywhere\u201d, maintaining that the election is APC versus PDP \u201cbecause they have the footprint\u201d.<\/p>\n

Peter Obi will compete with Bola Tinubu of the APC, PDP\u2019s Atiku Abubakar and NNPP\u2019s Rabiu Kwankwaso on February 25.<\/p>\n
