One local government vote in Kaduna State, according to Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, will nullify Peter Obi of the Labour Party's (LP) support in Anambra.
Obi, a two-term governor of Anambra, hopes to win the race with support from his home state.
El-Rufai, however, discounted the LP candidate's chances in a TVC interview and predicted that he would not fare well in the election.
El-Rufai was described by him as a Nollywood actor, with the remark "that's all he will be."
He said, “Peter Obi win the election? Peter Obi is polling one per cent in Sokoto, two per cent in Katsina, and five per cent in Kano, these how the votes are, all states are not equal.
“The fact that you are doing 70 per cent in Anambra State does not mean somebody doing 10 per cent in Kano is not better than you.
“Kano is 4 million votes that actually happened, Anambra is what, the number of votes in Anambra is the size of one local government in Kaduna State.
“So all states are not equal, yes Peter Obi will sweep southern states, and he will do well in the south, where else?
“He is not polling well in the southwest other than a drop of the ocean in Lagos, he is polling in Christian enclaves in the north, he is polling well but how many are they? How many?
“Peter Obi can’t win the election, he doesn’t have the number of states, he doesn’t have 25 per cent in more than 16 states, he can’t go anywhere. Peter Obi is a Nollywood actor and that’s all he will be.
“This election is between the APC and the 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 can be.”
