Admitting that his party’s candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar may not do well in the Southeast and the Southsouth, Osita said:
“Buhari has been president without winning those two regions. And that is what is going to happen in the forthcoming election.
“PDP is going to get considering vote in Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Anambra, Imo, Abia. We are going to come second. Whoever does well in the Northwest and Northeast will win the presidential election.
“What will happen is that the APC is talking about this presidency by the virtue of the fact that they have structures and they are in power.”
