President Muhammadu Buhari’s former Personal Assistant on
New Media, Bashir Ahmad, has expressed fear over the growing popularity of the
presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi in some Northern States.
Ahmad said Obi’s name has metamorphosed into a movement in
Kano and Katsina States.
He warned other presidential candidates that Obi had become
a movement to beat in both States.
In a tweet, the former presidential aide said Obi may likely
claim 75 to 80 percent votes in Kano and Katsina States.
“Let me confess, the name Peter Obi alone is a movement to
beat, I was in Kano over the weekend and to my surprise everywhere is PO,
nobody is talking about other candidates anymore and a friend told me that it’s
a similar story in Katsina. LP is getting 75% – 80% in those States,” he
tweeted.
Obi, who is the former Governor of Anambra State, defected
from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to LP.
Since he joined LP, Obi has become a household name among
Nigerians who feel he should be the country’s next president.
As Nigeria draws closer to the 2023 presidential election,
the clamour for electorates to vote Obi continues to increase daily.
Despite his growing popularity, the All Progressives
Congress, APC, had said its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu has nothing to
fear.
A former Acting National Chairman of APC, Hillard Eta, had
said most of those agitating online would end up voting for Tinubu in 2023.
