Human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu would defeat the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) flag bearer, Peter Obi, if his counterpart in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, were not on the ballot.
NEWSNGR reports that Adeyanju made the claim in a Facebook post on Thursday, amid the crisis rocking the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Recall that a Federal High Court judgment had nullified the party’s leadership and the emergence of Atiku as its presidential candidate.
Reacting, Adeyanju stated that Atiku is the greatest threat to Tinubu’s re-election, adding that Obi stands no chance against the president without the former vice president.
Adeyanju said, “Tinubu will defeat Obi/Kwankwaso with more than 7million votes if Atiku is not on the ballot. It will be a walk over from the minute Atiku is not on the ballot.
“Even if Atiku campaigns for Obi, Tinubu will still defeat him.”
The Kogi State-born political commentator said, “No section of the country is more politically knowledgeable and sophisticated than northerners. They understand politics so well.
“Atiku is the greatest threat to Tinubu’s re-election. Everyone that understands Nigeria political history knows this. The dynamics and sentiment in northern Nigeria is not looking good for the ruling party.”
