Ango Abdullahi, chairperson of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), has responded to Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-remark Rufai’s that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will win the North in the February 25th, 2023 presidential election.
El-Rufai stated a few weeks ago that the North will support the APC’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, and that power would pass to the South.
Having more governors in the north, according to Abdullahi, does not translate into more votes for the ruling party.

Speaking on the chance of APC in the north, he said, “you think because APC has more states in the North than any other party, the governors will consequently swing votes for Tinubu? Well, let us wait and see whether they can. Each of the APC governors has only one vote like every other voter in the North. You think APC governors will sit down and be calling the voters to tell them where they will put their votes?”
Reacting to El-Rufai’s statement, Abdullahi said, “who is he? Who is that one? Let’s wait for him to deliver the votes to wherever he wants the votes to go. What I know is that, at the end of the day, it is the voters who will deliver the votes. That is my position. It is not the governors that will deliver the votes. The votes cast are the ones that will be counted and these votes will determine who has won and who has lost.”
