A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Buba Galadima, has predicted that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), will not win the 2023 election.
Galadima made the prediction on Thursday night in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
According to the former All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, whom Atiku is looking to reconcile with, controls 14 states in Nigeria.
“PDP is not even on the ballot because its strength is in the south-east, which has been eroded by Peter Obi. The next strength of PDP is in the south-south. With Wike never supporting Atiku, the south-south is gone,” Galadima said.
“The north-east is completely Kwankwaso because he will win Taraba, Adamawa, Gombe, and Bauchi, including the governorship.
“He will win the north-east, north-central, and will win the north-west. All combined, they have over 50-something million voters.
“Kwankwaso will poach the south-south, south-east, and part of the south-west.”
