Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano says the All Progressives Congress is not bothered by the emergence of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi from the South-East as the region has not significantly voted for the party in the past.

Mr Ganduje claims votes tally for the APC in the entire South-East for the party in past elections was inferior to returns from just a local government in his native Kano State.

“The emergence of Labour Party with Peter Obi as its presidential candidate is a good omen to the APC. What is our political investment in the South-East?

“The votes we got from Nasarawa Local Government in Kano Metropolitan is much higher than the total votes APC got in whole five states of South-East,” Mr Ganduje said.

Mr Ganduje made this statement in an interview with Channels TV on Monday, adding that Mr Obi’s candidature is more of a threat to the Peoples Democratic Party.

“So you can see that if there is any problem in South-East it is the PDP that would suffer. It is the vote of PDP that Peter Obi will snatch away. For APC, it is a good omen,” he said.

Since he threw his hat into the ring, Mr Obi’s support has grown in leaps and bounds among his ethnic Igbo tribe in the South-East. His messages also resonate with young people around Nigeria, especially those dissatisfied with the political establishment over years of maladministration and neglect.

‘Obidients’, a horde of diehard supporters for Mr Obi, have been rallying support online and offline to realise the Peter Obi presidency in 202e.

Popular for being a frugal administrator, Mr Obi will fight next year’s election against APC’s Bola Tinubu, PDP’s Atiku Abubakar and host of other candidates.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has confirmed the authenticity of the video showing the Kano State Governor, Umar Ganduje, allegedly receiving millions of dollars as bribe.

SATURDAY PUNCH gathered that forensic analysis of the video showing Ganduje receiving bribe from a contractor indicated that the video was not digitally cloned as claimed by some of his loyalists.

Omo, these guys just like to dey use SE catch cruise lol.

Na true Ganduje talk tho. Even with all the underage voters registering in the SE, they still can’t beat one LG in Kano in their votes for APC.

Ddokie:


I would wonder the part of gandollars statement that is making you happy. The man is stating an obvious fact which is that APC is going to get an insignificant amount of votes in the SE, same as Atiku. that's not what you and you fellow batstards are looking forward to. You guys are hoping that Umahi, Uzodinma, Nnamani, and more recently Soludo will give you the votes of the SE on a platter.

Well gandollar being an old fox, has just told you not to bother, that nothing is going to come out of the SE for APC.

With over 95% of 11million registered voters in the region going to to LP, which is slightly above 10m votes, you should be worried where you would get votes to cover up for that, especially when you consider the fact that Atiku is winning the north, while RMK will slug the rest of the votes out with BAT.

Pakute:
As far as the entire North is concerned, Obi does not exist.

owobokiri:


This is how you tribal reprobates use your endless deluge of almajiri wrecks to rig elections everytime in other to enthrone your mediocre brothers to power. Those misfits will then spend almost a decade destroying everything built by others because they're simply incapable of running a modern government!

Almost a century after independence, with trillions of dollars from Oil earnings, yet nothing to show for it. The North and their cousins in the South West are our problems in this country! Someone has to say this..
Your type knows how to win elections but know zilch about what to do with power.

These are the ones who make presidents for you..

Racoon:
Yeah! We don't stuff dollar bribes into mobile babanriga bullion vans. If not for the shamelessness associated with political crooks in Nigeria, Gandollar ought to have been cooling his heels in jail by now.

XerXers:

As far as obi is concerned, the north can go to h3ll
