Contrary to the claim by Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, that the APC will lose the 2023 presidential election because of their awful performance, a political analyst on ATN politics has said the election is not for any single politician to decide or predict but for the Nigerian electorates.

Mr. Emmanuel Bagudu, a guest on the programme while reacting to the claim by Governor Ortom said “whatever the case may be I see this election as an open ballot and as a keenly contested election where you cannot predict who is going to be the winner. It is no longer the issue of the winner takes it all or people predicting which party wins because it is going to be unpredictable.”

He observed that nobody will stop the governor from expressing his disdain for President Muhammadu Buhari but the election will be decided by Nigerian.

On the chances of the Peoples’ Democratic Party in the election he said, the PDP should not consider the election as a walkover given that their strong hold has already been captured by the Labour Party and that the party is currently engulfed by crisis.

He also said the APC has both political and economic advantages over the PDP in the election, hence the election will be a tough one for the PDP.

The Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom had it a statement by his spokesman, Nathaniel Ikyur said there is no magic the APC can conjure to win the 2023 general election given their abysmal performance.
