Hours before President Muhammadu Buhari flags off his presidential campaign in Lagos, a PDP chieftain, Chief Charles Udeogaranya, has sensationally predicted that might not record up to 25 percent votes in the state.
The president won a substantial number of votes in the state in 2015 presidential election but Udeogaranya says this time round, it would be a different ball game.
“Mr President should save himself from an unnecessary campaign trip to Lagos as he will not get the required 25 percent statutory votes from the residents.
“If his handers know what is good for him, they ought to have asked him to cancel the trip and stay away as his visit to Lagos will add to the troubles Lagosians are currently going through. The city is already crippled by traffic chaos which his administration created with the Apapa Port traffic menace.

“In all the corners of Lagos State, all people are saying is: ‘Give Us Atiku,’, ‘Atiku dey come,’ the reason being that Lagos is an commercial city. Here, nothing but the economy matters and not sentiments, bearing in mind that the Buhari administration has performed woefully on economy and the people can’t wait for the February 16 presidential election to express their bitterness over the government’s disastrous economic profile by handing him a crushing defeat.”
He noted that the “overwhelming turnout in Lagos State during registration of voters exercise might be a sign of the residents determination to vote out the incumbent, insisting that it is looking certain.
