2023: Why Atiku Can’t Harvest Buhari’s North Vote-Bank – VON DG Okechukwu

According to Osita Okechukwu, Director-General of Voice of Nigeria (VON), former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar cannot harvest President Muhammadu Buhari’s 12 million North Vote-Bank because he lacks the necessary attributes.

In response to journalists’ questions about Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), harvesting Buhari’s 12 million vote bank, Okechukwu, an APC foundation member, dismissed it as a rumour.

“One has great respect for His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar, Waziri of Adamawa; however he can’t harvest Buhari’s 12 million Vote-Bank located mostly in the north, for many reasons.

“One the North doesn’t trust him, he is not Mai-Gasikiya, Buhari’s hallmark

“Historically, only the legendary Malam Aminu Kano of blessed memory who had Buhari’s political cult followership in the north,” he said.

Prodded further, why would Atiku not inherit Buhari’s vote bank under our dominated ethnoreligious politics?

According to Okechukwu, the northern electorate is one of the most sophisticated in Nigeria. The majority of them are not infrastructure-driven, and they can easily distinguish between truth and propaganda.

“ I don’t understand why people think northerners cannot vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Peter Obi? Don’t forget that they voted M.K.O Abiola in preference to Alhaji Bashir Tofar?” Okechukwu asked.

Okechukwu recalled that, in addition to the northern electorate’s ability to discern truth from propaganda, the APC Northern Governors Forum’s unwavering commitment to power rotation from north to south. They supported the rotation convention principle during the APC presidential primary in June 2022.

“Imperative as well is the G-5 Wike Masquerade, the Integrity Group of PDP squared against Atiku, as Atiku and 5 Governors of the PDP did in 2014 for equity, fairness and justice under the banner of rotation convention. G-5 Wike is a big vote minus for Atiku.”

Okechukwu stated that with the Electoral Act of 2022, which is a Vote-Rigging-Vaccine, and a combination of these factors, Atiku will be unable to harvest Buhari’s 12 million Vote-Bank.
