Considering the growing popularity of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), the All Progressives Congress (APC) has made some predictions about certain possibilities in the coming general elections. The deputy spokesperson for the APC's presidential campaign council, Hannatu Musawa, who spoke with Punch on Sunday, October 16, said Obi may claim some northern states whose votes are very much needed for any candidate to win a national election. Admitting that the presidential election will be won and lost in the north, Musawa noted that states like Benue, Plateau, and perhaps Taraba may go for the former Anambra governor.
Musawa said: "This election is going to be won and lost in the North. That is the bottom line. It is the reality, whether we like it or not. The Constitution and the Electoral Act’s requirement for election are not just to have a million people march for you. You need to have a fair number of votes coming from a certain number of states. "...I cannot see him winning any state in the North, with the exception of Benue, Plateau and, maybe, Taraba, that are needed to win a national election, We'll use sentiments against Peter Obi in southwest - Tinubu's strategist Before this, a chieftain of the ruling party who happens to be one of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's strategists told the newspaper that the APC campaign team will use two strategies against Obi and his movement in the southwest: issues and sentiments. The chieftain who pleaded anonymity confessed that the Obidients constitute a movement that cannot be overlooked or swept under the carpet. He said that Obi's supporters are not only capable but will actually shift the political terrain of Nigeria soon: His words: “Let me tell you what we are considering now to neutralise the movement. Two things will be involved in the electoral campaigns: issues and sentiments. There is always voter apathy in the South-West and if at all there is going to be an increase (in voters’ turnout) in the South-West now, it is going to be pro-Asiwaju because the Igbo people are stamping on our authority in our zone. I am not joking. Read more: https://www.legit.ng/politics/1498202-three-northern-states-peter-obi-win-apc-deputy-spokesperson/

Don't let agbasdorianscasavanites see this prediction

It is not under probability,he will win

Peter Obi is the next president of Nigeria.

APC knows peter OBI will win some states in the north, while, his urchins are saying opposite.

They cannot deny it. The OBIDATTI PHENOMENON!

Voting for APC is like moving from rotten to bad

If obi wins taraba , Benue and plateau ,I tip obi to win Abuja also ...I tip obi to get 30% in nassarawa and Kaduna ...then if he can get 25% in Adamawa , kogi and kwara
.
then I can tell you go home obi is the Next president ....

Just hope Tinubu and kwankwaso are not just all mouth and no actions I hope both of them combined can get 50% of the Muslim core north votes ...if they do obi is wining with over 2 million votes

Votes that would come out from South east and south South next year would shock people sha

From social media president, to 4 people tweeting in a room and now he will win platue, tabara and nasarawa. Lol
