Jerry Gana, a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has boasted that if Peter Obi returns to the party, he will defeat any candidate he runs against in the North.
Gana stated this while answering questions on a national tv program
His comments come amid speculations that Obi could return to the PDP, despite attending several meetings with the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Obi ran for presidency under the umbrella of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 polls.
According to Gana, Obi’s best bet of becoming president is to run under the PDP in the next general elections.
He said: “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.
“In 2031, it will be the turn of the North.
“Our people are very fair and we are building a nation.”
