Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) is another strong contender in the 2023 presidential race.
Meanwhile, Obi, the LP flagbearer, seems to be more appealing to the youths than others. This, perhaps, is the reason why many polls have tipped him to win the 2023 election.
Ahead of the 2023 elections, the chances of the former governor of Anambra state appear to be getting brighter as strong politicians in the APC and the PDP pledge their support for him.

Charles Udeogaranya contested for the APC’s presidential ticket in 2019. He has, however, snubbed Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, for Obi.

He also berated his party, APC, for fielding a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
2. Dr S.K.C. Ogbonnia
Dr S.K.C. Ogbonnia is also another former APC presidential aspirant Ogbonnia who dumped Tinubu and publicly endorsed Obi.
The APC chieftain questioned his party’s presidential candidate’s health and personal background.
Nevertheless, Ogbonnia said he remains an APC member.
3. Isaac Balami
Isaac Balami, a youth leader and strong APC member, recently left the ruling party for the LP.
Balami said he decided to join Obi and his party because he shares in the pains of Nigerians
The APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket is also another major reason he left the APC to back Obi.
