A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano state, Ismael Ahmed, has stated that the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu would have easily lost the 2023 presidential election if the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, had united in the election.
Naija News reports that Ahmed made this known in an interview on the Mic On, podcast with Nigerian journalist, Seun Okinbaloye.
This comes amidst speculation about Peter Obi and Atiku forming a strong political party through a coalition to defeat President Tinubu in the 2027 election.
Asked if he is concerned about a possible opposition alliance, Ahmed responded in the affirmative, stating that God forbid the two opposition leaders come together in 2027.
According to the APC chieftain, he does not take potential threats as a joke, adding that the ruling party could lose the 2027 election if Atiku and Obi unite.
Part of his words read, “Yes, it does. I never take any potential threat for a joke in politics. And if you look at the votes of Atiku plus Obi in 2023, we could have easily lost the election if they were put together. God forbid that they come together.”
