On Monday, the 16th of January, 2023, former Senate President, Bukola Saraki while speaking during an interview on Arise TV’s ‘The Morning Show’ said Peter Obi’s Labour Party (LP) is the biggest challenge of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-East region of the country.
He said; “South-South is a strong PDP area. We will do very well in South-South, South-East, the challenge we have there, of course, is Labour Party.”
“But we will still do well in the South-East and take our 25%. We will do well in North Central, we will do well in North-West and North-East,” he said.
Meanwhile, Saraki strongly believes that the PDP will win four political zones – North-West, North-East, South-South, and North-Central during the election.
“We need four zones. By the time you have four zones, you will win the election.”
“The four zones that we will win are North-west, North-east, South-south, and North-central, and we will take our 25% more than 24 states. There is no doubt about that,” he added.
Recall that Saraki, alongside Nyesom Wike, Udom Emmanuel, Ayo Fayose, Bala Mohammed, among others, lost the PDP 2023 presidential ticket to Atiku Abubakar.
