The Governor of Nasarawa state, Abdullahi Sule has dismissed the winning chances of presidential candidates of Labour party, Peter Obi and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso in the 2023 presidential election.

The governor disclosed this in an interview with Channels TV on Monday.

He said the parties are scantily popular in the country and lack the national spread to win, adding that they missed their chances of being strong contenders to the All-Progressive Congress (APC) and People Democratic Party (PDP) after their failed merger.

“He is not even popular in Nasarawa State, so I don’t know of the nation. At the national level, based on what we read, there are four political parties that are strong, definitely the APC because we are the ruling party, the PDP because they have an excellent candidate.

“Peter Obi was at one time a governor, so he is there also alongside Kwankwaso’s party.

“Going in they will do very well, I have no doubt in certain regions, but to have the national spread is going to be very difficult because it is people who move political parties, not just the name or the individual at the top.”
