Governor Nasir El-Rufai, of Kaduna State, has admitted that it would be tough for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to defeat his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde, in 2023.
El-Rufai stated this at the commemoration and send-off ceremony organised for the outgoing director-general of the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Nteranya Sanginga, on Friday.
Both governors recounted how they argued during a National Executive Council sitting, over if to lock down their states in the heat of the COVID-19 outbreak.
The Kaduna governor, however revealed that the APC will try its best to unseat Makinde, but it would be tough because he has governed well.
