Former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has predicted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) might suffer defeat in the 2023 presidential election to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Giving his reasons, he said if the APC zoned its presidential ticket to South West region, the main opposition party would lose the election if it zoned its ticket to a region with lower voting strength.
In a tweet on his Twitter handle on Sunday, the staunch critic of President Muhammadu Buhari analysed the 2019 election with voter numbers to back his prediction.
According to him, politics is a game of numbers, not sentiments.
He wrote, “The 2019 election by voter numbers:
“NW: 8.2 M
NC: 4.4 M
NE: 4.3 M
SW: 3.8 M
SS: 3:2 M
SE: 2.09 M
“If APC gives their ticket to the SW, PDP will LOSE if it gives its ticket to any zone with a lower voting strength. Politics is a game of numbers, not sentiments!”
However, the two main political parties are yet to come out clean on the zoning of their respective presidential tickets.
