APC has fundamental leverage to win presidential election: Chieftain
An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in Sokoto, Yasha’u Ahmad Kebbe, says the party has fundamental leverage to win the February 25 presidential election than the PDP or any of the opposition political parties.
Mr Kebbe said in a statement in Abuja on Saturday that the ruling party at the centre has been waxing stronger since 2019.
“And along the line, it has been getting more state governments under its control.
“But, on the other hand, the main opposition party, the PDP has been fragmented. The PDP of 2019 is not the PDP of 2023.
“The votes had been divided into three or four when you look at the likelihood of the G5 governors not supporting their presidential candidate.”
The former PDP chieftain said even the stalwarts of the NNNP were aware it lacked the national spread to win the presidential election.
“Same analysis goes for LP, which I comfortably likened to a morning blizzard that will fizzle out on the morning of the election day.
“So, fundamentally, APC has all it takes in terms of strength and membership to win the 2023 election,” he added.
Mr Kebbe further said that another comparative advantage for the APC was the technical aspect of x-raying the antecedents of the presidential candidates.
“Fortunately enough, they all had an opportunity to showcase what they could have done in the past.
“Atiku had served as the vice president of Nigeria and had contested to serve as the governor of Adamawa.
“But, by the providence of destiny, he was selected as the VP, so he left the post to his erstwhile deputy.
“I am therefore challenging anyone to show his blueprints for the development of Adamawa or the North then. There were none,” the renowned businessman said.
On BolaTinubu, Mr Kebbe recalled how the APC presidential flag bearer drastically transformed Lagos State when he served as its two-term governor.
“So, Lagos is today, apart from being a formidable economy in the African continent, one of the most liveable cities.
“Therefore, this man, Tinubu, has antecedents of vision, and Nigeria is in dire need of visionary leaders, not rhetorical ones.”
