A Labour Party (LP) chieftain, Doyin Okupe, has explained that the speculation flying around that there is an agreement between the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the LP’s Flagbearer Peter Obi as the wishful thinking of some distractors.
He noted that the speculation about a deal involving the LP and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidates was false.
Okupe said Obi enjoys massive support home and abroad and is ahead of his opponents by miles.
The former presidential aide wonders why the former Anambra governor will negotiate “with other less popular candidates or their parties”.
Okupe advised the public to ignore the “cheap, self-serving and distracting propaganda, which we believe is not coming from the Atiku camp”.
The politician stressed that the Obidient movement gathers more and more electorates “on an hourly basis”.
“It is evident that the political fortunes and followership of the other parties diminish and recede like a drying lake in the scorching heat of an arid desert.”
The Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation, he added, remains focused to take back Nigeria and hand it over to the youths to secure their future.
“Our compelling commitment and promise is to move Nigeria from consumption to production”, the statement concluded.
