Bashir Ahmad, a former Personal Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on New Media, has expressed his shock at the growing popularity of Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi in States of the North.
In a post shared on Twitter, Ahmad confessed that Peter Obi’s name has grown into a movement that would be difficult to beat.
According to Ahmad, he visited Kano State over the weekend and was surprised to see many people talking about the Labour party presidential candidate.
He said nobody is talking about other presidential candidates anymore. He added that a friend of his in Katsina also confirmed the growing followership.
The former presidential aide added that Obi may likely claim 80% votes in Kano and Katsina States.
Bashir Ahmad added that: “A friend also just DMed me that PO is getting not less than 85% in Kaduna. Like I said he is everywhere in Kano and Katsina, so he doesn’t even have to waste his time to go to north west for campaign, his soldiers take over the region. An 80% victory is assured!
“Let me confess, the name Peter Obi alone is a movement to beat, I was in Kano over the weekend and to my surprise everywhere is PO, nobody is talking about other candidates anymore and a friend told me that it’s a similar story in Katsina. LP is getting 75% – 80% in those States.”
