El-Rufai claimed that the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate lacks numbers, referring to him as a Nollywood actor.
He said that the battle is between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
El-Rufai discounted Obi’s popularity, claiming that he will only receive votes from the South-East and sections of the South-South.NYSC portal
Votes in merely one Local Government Area in Kaduna, according to the APC stalwart, will erase votes in Anambra.

In an interview with TVC, El-Rufai said Obi is polling one percent in Sokoto, two percent in Katsina, and five percent in Kano.
“Doing 70 percent in Anambra State does not mean somebody doing 10 percent in Kano is not better than you.
“Kano is 4 million votes…Yes, Peter Obi will sweep the Southern States, he will do well in South-South, where else?” He queried.
El-Rufai added that Obi is not polling well in the South-West “other than a drop of ocean in Lagos”.
“He is polling in Christian enclaves in the North, but how many are they?” the governor quipped.
He said “ethnicity and religious bigotry will not take you anywhere”, maintaining that the election is APC versus PDP “because they have the footprint”.
