Ex-Borno Governor Claims North Will Not Support Peter Obi

Ex-Borno Governor Claims North Will Not Support Peter Obi

Former Borno State Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff, has said that the people of Northern Nigeria are unlikely to support Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi in future elections.

Sheriff made the remark while speaking on political developments in the country, arguing that Obi faces significant challenges in gaining widespread acceptance across the northern region. He maintained that voting patterns in the North are influenced by political alliances, regional interests, and long-standing party structures.

According to the former governor, any presidential hopeful seeking victory in Nigeria must build broad national support, including strong backing from the North.

His comments have sparked political debate, with supporters and critics offering differing views on the prospects of future presidential elections and the importance of national coalition-building.
