The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), has explained why they believe that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi<\/a>, will score little or no vote in Northern Nigeria.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The National President of AYCF, Yerima Shettima, gave this remark on Friday while predicting presidential candidates who would divide the votes in the North.<\/p>\n

According to Shettima, the votes from the North would be divided between the presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP.<\/p>\n

Speaking with reporters, Shettima explained that Obi\u2019s followers have not done enough work in the North to get votes.<\/p>\n

According to Shettima: ‘The vote of the North will be divided between Tinubu, Atiku, and Kwankwaso. Peter Obi will get little or nothing in the North; this is not because he is an Igbo man but because so many factors are involved.<\/em><\/p>\n

He further added that; ‘Not because he lacks the competence, but his lieutenants have not done enough work in the northern part of the country,’ he stated.<\/p>\n

Shettima also stressed that the 2023 elections will hold, warning that any attempt to undermine the polls would be resisted.<\/p>\n

According to him: ‘The electoral body has not come out to say they can\u2019t conduct elections, even when that incident happened in Ogun State, they came out openly to say elections must hold.<\/em><\/p>\n

‘All they want is the support of Nigerians, security, and the government to provide a conducive atmosphere. Under Mahmood\u2019s leadership, I know the elections will hold.<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Those thinking the elections will not hold will be put to shame. The INEC chairman is determined, we trust him, and all he needs is for us to give him the necessary support to conduct free and fair elections.’<\/em><\/p>\n

Africa Today News, New York reports that the former Governor of Anambra State has continued to garner support from Nigerians especially on social media.<\/p>\n
