Pioneering leader in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Professor Jerry Gana, is confident that the 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, would defeat all contestants should he run via the leading opposition group.
Speaking on Arise News, Gana said that Obi would capture the votes of Nigeria’s Northern states in the 2027 polls by contesting on the PDP platform.
Obi said he was still a member of the Labour Party and had vowed to remain in the party for the meantime while working with the African Democratic Congress, ADC-led coalition.
He left the PDP in May 2022 to pursue his bid under the LP.
“The PDP is on the ground. I’m a researcher, and I research opinions. In the northern states, Peter Obi under the PDP will defeat any candidate because our people are very fair-minded and just.
“We are reaching out to Peter Obi. Because I’m leading a search team and there are many brilliant people. Peter may be good, but we have somebody better. So, we are searching.
“We made a mistake in 2023. If I were Atiku, I would say, ‘Peter, it is now your turn; I would give you a Vice President,’ but he didn’t,” he said.
