2023 Election: PDP reveals plot to topple APC in powerful Northern state

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is set to hold its presidential campaign rally on Wednesday, November in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.

As reported by Channels TV, the party is beaming with confidence stating that its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar will dominate polls in Borno state in the forthcoming 2023 election.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is confident that they will topple the APC in Borno state after receiving one million APC defectors into the party.

PDP campaign spokesperson, Debo Ologunagba in a statement made available to newsmen claims that Bola Tinubu, the flagbearer of the All Progressive Congress (APC) does not have a stronghold in Borno state despite being under the leadership of an APC governor and the home state of his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima.

He also noted that Tinubu will find it difficult to accrue 25 percent votes across all states of the federation.

Ologunagba said: “While Asiwaju Tinubu is not on ground being no match for PDP’s more popular and much loved Atiku Abubakar, the APC’s Vice Presidential Candidate, Kashim Shettima has since lost face with the citizens following his abysmal failure as Governor of the State."

He claimed that the candidacy of Atiku as the PDP flagbearer has brought about a commotion within the ranks of the APC chapter in the state following the influx of APC members into the PDP.
