A popular Nigerian politician and former Senior Special Adviser to the Edo State Governor on New Media, Jack Obinyan has said that the former Governor of Lagos and National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Ahmed Bola Tinubu won’t be able to defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar at the 2023 general elections because of religion and even a Christian running mate would still lose to Atiku.
He noted that if the ruling ruling party went for a Muslim-Muslim president ticket it would cost them the presidency in today’s contemporary Nigeria, and they would eventually lost woefully to the major opposition party, PDP, who would be smart enough to considered a Southern Christian as a running mate for the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku.
He alleged that the apolitical voting masses in the country were fed up of age long politicians like the National Leader of APC, Tinubu and former vice president, Atiku and it might even be difficult for Tinubu to get vote in his own state, Lagos State.
He further added that what happened in Edo State during the gubernatorial election in 2020 might repeat itself in the 2023 general elections, and no amount of bullion vans would work in a general election in today’s Nigeria polity, because delegates and party members would collect aspirants money and vote their conscience.
