Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna, says the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, can’t win the forthcoming election.

El-Rufai said this on Thursday in an interview with TVC.

The Kaduna governor said Obi does not have the necessary support across all states to win the presidential election.

“We are ahead. How can Peter Obi win any election? Peter Obi is polling one percent in Sokoto; two percent in Katsina; five percent in Kano. That’s where the votes are. All states are not equal,” he said.

“The fact that you’re doing 70 percent in Anambra state does not mean somebody doing 10 percent in Kano is not better than you. Kano is four million votes that actually happen. The number of votes in Anambra is the size of one local government area in Kaduna state. So, all states are not equal.

El-Rufai, who described the LP candidate as a “Nollywood actor”, said Obi can only expect significant votes from the south-east and south-south, but not from the north and south-west.

“Peter Obi is a Nollywood actor and that’s all he will be. This election is between the APC and PDP because they have the footprint; they have the spread. Ethnicity and religious bigotry will not take you anywhere and that’s what the Labour Party campaign is about.

“We are the only party with a candidate with a broad-based support across Nigeria, and by the grace of God, we are going to win.”
