The presidential ambition of former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, is facing serious resistance from some northern political stakeholders and sections of the electorate, findings by Sunday PUNCH have revealed.

Some of the stakeholders, who spoke with our correspondents, disclosed that “majority of northerners” had yet to embrace his party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress.

It was also gathered that some northern leaders had started warning their followers against the party, while portraying Obi and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, as anti-northern interests.

In one of the political materials being circulated across some WhatsApp platforms in the region, Obi and Kwankwaso were projected as “haram” (forbidden).

On Tuesday, there were reports that some angry youths in Ungogo Local Government Area of Kano State burnt Obi and Kwankwaso’s campaign posters.

Similarly, a member of the Kano State House of Assembly, Muhammad Tomas, who recently joined the NDC from the All Progressives Congress, returned to the APC.

‘NDC is unknown’

Same with every candidates, you can't expect a smooth sail in a every place as presidential candidate . There are areas of strongholds and also areas where you will be unpopular

E don dey set small small

Is it not obvious that the North and The South East have natural hatred for themselves. lmao.

In politics, often not everyone will support a candidate

Not as bad as 100% rejection of Tinubu-APC!🤣

Personally I don't care about any of the front-runers winning (they're all the same incompetent, evil and corrupt melts, despite one land his people foooooling themselves that he's a messiah). What I care is that no Fulani should ever be allowed to rule this country again.

Kwankwaso has morals so refused to join drug dealer

This Obi-Kwankwaso ticket is really giving APC, Tinubu and his supporters sleepless night. Did you see how the junk article was contrived.

So why didn't you tell us how they've rejected Tinubu? The fear of OK is real

The joke is on you.. Let me remind you the outcome of 2023 election..

What do you mean by north?

Did the people you see as god and personal saviour voted for Tinubu as expected despite all the riggings?

Keep wallowing in delusion..
