A spokesman for the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Momodu, has said votes in the forthcoming presidential election in Lagos State will be split among candidates in the PDP, the All Progressives Congress and the Labour Party, Atiku Abubakar, Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi respectively.
Momodu said this on Arise TV Morning Show, where he also said ethnicity would play a major role in the elections.
Claiming Atiku is the only candidate with footprints in other parts of Nigeria, he described Obi as a third force, saying Obi and Tinubu however had strongholds in southern Nigeria.

“The two in the South will fight themselves; one in the South-East, one in the South-West. Atiku does not suffer that kind of challenge.
“Tinubu is the only candidate whose base is shaking. I can tell you that in Lagos, three people are going to split Lagos; Tinubu, Atiku and Obi,” Momodu said.
In the interview, Momodu also said the supporters of Obi are now seeing the importance of (political) structure.

“The Obidients are beginning to see the importance of structure. The structure is not something out of this world, it is a needed requirement. How many governors have you got, which is what Tinubu is banking on that ‘my governors will help me’. How many senators or senatorial candidates does Atiku have? How many people for House Representatives, and how many for the House of Assembly? They haven’t got much of that.
