“We are more concerned about Peter Obi and others. Kwankwaso is qualified and highly capable, but he is riding against the zoning convention. And so, if you tell us about Peter Obi, then we can say, ok, that is where we are worried,” but not about Atiku, who has lost his base.
“Atiku cannot win; I challenge those who are saying so. He cannot harvest Buhari’s 12 million votes; he cannot. He does not have Buhari’s vote bank.”
Okechukwu dismisses Atiku's chance
As reported by the Daily Independent, he based his facts and argument on the fact that Atiku has lost his major base.
Meanwhile, Okechukwu says Tinubu has what it takes to be the next president and his reputation precedes him.
He said:
“As per Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, what nobody can deny is that he knows the onion. He knows the gravitas, he knows the country, and he has come a long way. And we are not bothered about PDP; for instance, Atiku has lost his base."
