In another report, Senator Kwankwaso on Sunday, July 3, told journalists that the Labour Party (LP) does not have what it takes to emerge victorious in the 2023 elections.
Giving his reason for this position, Kwankwaso noted that most of the persons throwing their weight behind the LP's candidate, Peter Obi, are from the southeast, which is just one geopolitical zone in the country.
The former Kano governor stated that to win a presidential election, a given candidate needs the support and votes of persons from most parts of Nigeria, a fact which he said the constitution is very intentional about.
