Mr Uloka Chibuike, the Deputy Director, Media and Publicity, Presidential Management Committee of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said that the supporters of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, are no longer confident in their ability to win the 2023 presidential election.
According to the deputy director, supporters of the former Anambra State governor, popularly known as ‘Obidients’ are no longer at ease as they have been swept away because the status quo has changed for the opposition party presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
He declared that at the moment, no presidential candidate has more support and acceptance in the country, especially in Anambra State, than the Waziri of Adamawa.
“Our people have abandoned Peter Obi and his endeavour to retrogress the South-East politically as they gradually come to the realisation that throwing away our votes won’t be best for the survival of Ndi-Igbo in the country’s politics,” he said.
He also claimed that the people have abandoned the former Anambra State Governor and accepted the former Vice president of Nigeria after realizing his weakness and unpopularity in different regions of the country.
He stated this in a statement made available to journalists in Awka on Wednesday.
