The Anambra State Chairman of the Atiku-Obi Election Council , Mr Oseloka Obaze , on Wednesday , said President Muhammadu Buhari had already lost the February 16 presidential poll .Obaze who was the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2017 governorship election in the state , stated this at a press conference in Awka , the Anambra State capital .

He said the sociopolitical ambience in the country had shown that over 90 per cent of Nigerians were disgruntled with the Buhari government .

He said the February 16 poll would be a mere formality to officially exit Buhari from Aso Rock .

Obaze said , “ Over 90 per cent of Nigerians are unhappy with this government . The anger of Nigerians has already sacked Buhari as president long ago.

“ The government has not implemented five per cent of the promises it made to Nigerians in 2015 .

“ The APC government needs to go to give Nigerians breathing air . Nigerians are disgruntled with them .

“ The government has since been issued a quit notice by Nigerians. So, the February 16 poll is mere formality to exit the government .

He said the PDP had put arrangements in place to ensure that the election was not rigged , stressing that the international community had their eyes on the election .

“ I don’ t see why Buhari should not allow the election to be credible and transparent . Buhari should accept the imminent defeat he will face in the poll , and go without bringing additional problems on Nigeria” .

Obaze dismissed the speculation that South- East governors were not in support of Atiku- Obi project , stating that the PDP presidential rallies and the crowd that greeted such rallies were indicative that the geopolitical zone was united in the project .
