Orji Kalu, the Senate Chief Whip, has claimed that the presidential candidates of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, and the Labour Party, LP, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi, respectively, are indirectly “working” for the victory of the All Progressives Congress, APC, flagbearer, Bola Tinubu, by dividing southern votes.
This was mentioned by Kalu during an appearance on Channels Television’s Political Paradigm show, which aired on Tuesday.
He stated that the APC’s vote base in the North-West and North-East geopolitical zones is intact.
The APC chairman also stated that he does not trust in pre-election surveys that place Obi ahead of the other 18 presidential contenders, including Tinubu.
“I don’t believe in the poll; the poll is not realistic,” Kalu said.
“If the poll wants to be realistic, Kwankwaso and Peter Obi are working for us because nobody has touched our base; nobody has touched the strongest base of APC. The North-West and the North-East are our bases.
“But come to the South-East, it is divided, come to the South-South, it is divided, it is finished with Obidients. Nobody has touched our base; our base is still intact; it is as good as anything,” he said.
