2023 election: Only 7 governors supporting Atiku – Oshiomhole

Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has claimed that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has only seven governors working for him.

Oshiomhole said he is confident the APC’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, will have a landslide victory at the poll.

According to the former Edo State governor, all the 23 APC governors are working persistently towards the success of Tinubu in the 2023 general elections.

Oshiomhole said, “So if you ask me how we are doing, we are doing very well. Whereas the other [PDP] is now battling with five governors that backed out, and you find out how many governors they have, we have twenty-three.

“Now, if you add twenty-three to five, I am not saying the five are with us, but we have twenty-three with five. I guess that is twenty-eight. If you subtract twenty-eight from thirty-six, it means only eight governors, in fact, seven, because the other one in APGA isn’t there.

“So, while he [Atiku] has seven governors working for him, we have twenty-three working for us, and we have five who are neutral. You know, when you’re voting, when I was in ILO, you vote for, against, or you abstain. Abstinence is as good as voting against.”
