Channels Television reports that Chidoka, an ally of Atiku Abubakar, PDP's 2023 presidential candidate said Kwankwaso's analysis that any party that cannot control the three states should forget about winning a presidential election is wrong.

Stating that the former Kano state governor's analysis is 'not mathematically correct', Chidoka said that in the history of the Nigerian Fourth Republic, no party has been able to control the three states.
However acknowledging that Lagos, Rivers and Kano states deliver millions of votes during presidential elections in Nigeria, the former minister of aviation no one party has ever won the three states.

His words:
“It is the party that wins across all segments that win the election and no party has won the three states at the same time - most times, two out of three. In 2019, APC won Kano and Lagos was marginal - it was 45% to 55% split between PDP and APC. PDP won Rivers."
“As there is Kano, there is Katsina. As there is Lagos, there is Delta, there is Akwa Ibom, there is Jigawa, a state that doesn’t have high numbers but high voter turnout if you look at historical data."
He also noted that Kano had over 1.8 million cumulative votes which are the highest by any state in the 2019 presidential election.
In addition, Chidoka noted that Lagos had over one million total votes and Rivers about 600,000 total votes.
He noted that the fact is with Kano and Lagos states are currently being controlled by the APC whilst PDP is the party in power in Rivers.
