- As the 2023 presidential election gets closer in a few weeks’ time, leading candidates in the poll have shifted their attention to the northern region
- The action of the presidential candidates is due to the recent statistics released by INEC, which favoured the northern part of the country
- According to INEC, 49 million of the 94 million registered voters for the 2023 poll are from the north, meaning almost 50% of the voters are in the north
The presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu; Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar; Labour Party’s Peter Obi; and New Nigeria’s Peoples Party (NNPP), are shifting attention to the north.
The foot soldiers of these candidates are already combing the region for the people’s votes ahead of the February poll.
