Ethnicity and religious bigotry will not take you anywhere, the election is between APC and PDP – El-Rufai tells Peter Obi

Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has stated that Peter Obi of Labour party will not win the 2023 Presidential Election. He said the race is between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In an interview with TVC, El-Rufai said Obi is polling one percent in Sokoto, two percent in Katsina, and five percent in Kano.

“Doing 70 percent in Anambra State does not mean somebody doing 10 percent in Kano is not better than you.

“Kano is 4 million votes…Yes, Peter Obi will sweep Southern States, he will do well in South-South, where else?” He queried.

El-Rufai added that Obi is not polling well in the South-West “other than a drop of ocean in Lagos”.

“He is polling in Christian enclaves in the North, but how many are they?”

He said “ethnicity and religious bigotry will not take you anywhere”, maintaining that the election is APC versus PDP “because they have the footprint”.
