Chekwas Okorie Predicts Increased Votes for Peter Obi in Lagos
Chief Chekwas Okorie, the founding National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and President of the Igbo Agenda Dialogue, has forecasted that Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, will secure more votes in Lagos State in the 2027 elections than in 2023. Okorie stated that the number of Igbo voters in Lagos is expected to double.
He addressed comments made by Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo regarding Obi and the North's voting tendencies, emphasizing that both he and Obi are products of APGA. Okorie criticized Soludo's stance, suggesting it stemmed from personal grievances and warned that if Obi's party gains a majority in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Soludo could face challenges during his remaining tenure.
He also challenged Soludo to increase the percentage of votes for President Bola Tinubu in Anambra from 5.3% to at least 10%.
