Nigeria’s former Vice President and Flagbearer of the People’s Democratic Party, Alhaji, Atiku Abubakar has said that it will take a miracle for the candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi to win the 2023 presidential election.
Atiku, who disclosed this when he appeared on ARISE NEWS said that it is difficult to expect such a miracle to happen simply because Obi is in Labour Party.
According to him, politics in Nigeria depends on structure at the National, State and Local Government levels, and the labour party does not have such structure.
He also said Obi’s emergence will not affect the chances of the PDP, as he does not expect the Labour Party to take more votes from the country’s main opposition party.
Part of his statement reads,
I rarely don’t expect the Labour Party to take as much votes from the PDP as people are suggesting. We could have seen it in the last elections in Osun State. What is the performance of the Labour Party.
This is a Party that doesn’t have a Governor, doesn’t have members of the National Assembly, doesn’t have members of the State House of Assembly and Politics in this Country depends on the structures you have at these various levels: At the Local Government level, at the State level and at the National level. So, it is very very difficult to expect a miracle to happen simply because Peter Obi is in Labour Party.
Afterall, they were saying through the social media, they have more than one million votes in Osun State but how many people stand out to vote for Labour Party, and there again mark you, you are talking about social media, in the North 90% of our people are not tuned to social media.
