A Northern chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Alwan Hassan, has said that the North will not vote for Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential election.
He recently revealed that Obi will not have the support of the Northern region because he is involved in alcohol importation.
Speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’, Hassan disclosed that Peter Obi’s plea for the support of the North is futile due to his business ventures conflicting with the region’s culture and values.
According to him, the Labour Party member went on a programme to solicit support while celebrating a brewery in Anambra State on the same show.
“Who else do you think will defeat Asiwaju in 2027? Who? Peter Obi that was on your programme saying he wants the North to support him and in the same programme he was celebrating a brewery in Anambra State and being the biggest importer of alcohol.
And you want the North to vote for him? We will vote for a president that will import alcohol in the North?” he said.
He further blasted the opposition coalition formed on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing it as a weak alliance driven by individual ambition rather than for the sake of Nigerians.
Hassan concluded by saying that their efforts will yield no tangible result because Tinubu will emerge victorious again.
“The ADC is a coalition of angry people with a strategy. Everyone of them wants to be president. Asiwaju will be president.
With the facts on the ground, President Tinubu will be re-elected in sha Allah,” he added.
