All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu; Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi; and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, are expected to win by significant margins, according to Kingsley Moghalu, a former candidate for president of the African Democratic Congress.
According to Moghalu, Tinubu will win the most votes in the state of Lagos, Obi would triumph in the state of Rivers, and Kwankwaso would win the most votes in the state of Kano.
According to the former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), this scenario makes the outcome of the election in 2023 questionable.
In a series of tweets, Moghalu said nobody can predict who will win the 2023 presidential election.
According to him, it’s a good thing that politicians will have to sweat for votes in 2023.
He wrote: “I predict @KwankwasoRM will win majority of Kano votes in the presidential election. @officialABAT will likely win in Lagos, and @PeterObi will likely win in Rivers.
“Three of the four most populous voting states in Nigeria. This scenario leaves the election outcome uncertain.
“Anyone who tells you who will win the presidential election “for sure” is deceiving you -or perhaps himself or herself.
“That’s a good thing for democracy. Let the politicians sweat. We can only hope that they sweat to govern as much as they sweat to win.
“There are other large vote-population states like Oyo too (although its PDP Gov is not with Atiku as of now). Kaduna and Katsina, although both are strong APC states. But we can never know what will happen for sure.”
