2023 election: Patrick Obahiagbon says Peter Obi can’t win

[ad_1]

Patrick Obahiagbon, a former federal lawmaker, has poured cold water on the possibility of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi winning the 2023 general elections. 

He asserted that the enthusiasm of Obidients won’t secure the needed numbers to upstage entrenched political parties; the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party.

There are only two significant political parties running in this election. The APC and the PDP are the two main political parties.

The talkative Mr. Obahiagbon, who is known for his comments on Arise TV, stated, “I don’t see how the Labour Party will muster 25% in roughly 24 states in this election (2023).”

Though Mr. Obi had created a “third force,” which he called “the growing, surging political sirocco of the Obi,” he claimed that the election was still between Bola Tinubu of the APC and Atiku Abubakar of the PDP.

He asserts that Nigerians who are backing Mr. Obi for president are individuals who are sick to death with the current state of affairs in the nation as a result of poor leadership emerging from the current political class.

“However, notwithstanding that assertion, I boldly assert that three significant presidential candidates will run in this election, which will be contested by two big political parties.

I really hope that the parasitic political elite in Nigeria is learning the lessons that have accompanied Peter Obi’s rise to prominence, Mr. Obahiagbon continued.

The former congressman claimed that the LP candidate’s ‘languorous’ supporters still lacked a basic understanding of Nigerian politics.

The failures and frailties of the whole Nigerian political elite, including the APC, PDP, NNPP, and others, have left Nigerians in general and Nigerian youths in particular utterly unsatisfied and lagging.

“This unhappiness is resurfacing and emerging as the Peter Obi movement.

“Can Peter Obi catch the tsunami of Nigeria’s disappointment and carry it into the cozy confines of the Aso Rock Villa? I reject. I don’t see that,” said Mr. Obahiagbon.

As the Independent National Electoral Commission stated in September that official political campaigns will begin, the contenders for the 2023 election have been engaging with various stakeholders to enlist further support (INEC).
