Presidential candidate of the Young Progressive Party (YPP) in 2019, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu has said that the outcome of the 2023 election is uncertain.
According to him, anyone that predicts outright victory for any of the parties is engaging in deception.
The former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said this in a series of tweets on Friday.
Moghalu predicted that three of the four most populous voting states in Nigeria – Kano, Lagos and Rivers – would be won by Rabiu Kwankwaso of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peter Obi of Labour Party (LP) respectively.

“I predict @KwankwasoRM will win majority of Kano votes in the presidential election. @officialABAT will likely win in Lagos, and
@PeterObi will likely win in Rivers.
“Three of the four most populous voting states in Nigeria.This scenario leaves the election outcome uncertain.
“Anyone who tells you who will win the presidential election “for sure” is deceiving you -or perhaps himself or herself.
“That’s a good thing for democracy. Let the politicians sweat. We can only hope that they sweat to govern as much as they sweat to win.
“There are other large vote-population states like Oyo too (although its PDP Gov is not with Atiku as of now). Kaduna and Katsina, although both are strong APC states. But we can never know what will happen for sure,” Moghalu said.
