Lagos PDP Chieftain Declares Support For Peter Obi by MANDIPUTIN: 8:00pm On Aug 05, 2022 |
A Peoples Democratic Party stalwart in Lagos State, Babatunde Gbadamosi, on Friday, defected to the Labour Party, declaring support for its presidential candidate, Peter Obi. Gbadamosi, a former governorship candidate of the African Democratic Party and a former Lagos East Senatorial Candidate of the PDP, made this known in a statement in Lagos. “I had completely lost hope, especially in the youths of Nigeria, considering how the senatorial bye-elections panned out, after the traumatic events of the #EndSARS. “However, the exit of Peter Obi from the PDP and his subsequent emergence as the Presidential candidate of the LP, and his brilliant choice of Mallam Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed as running mate have rekindled my hope. “I am 54 years old, and never in my life have I been privileged to witness the kind of energy, vim, vigor, unity and tenacity of purpose being exhibited by youths of all ethnicities and religious backgrounds in Nigeria over a political candidate.. “I hereby publicly declare my resignation from the PDP and wish all the remaining members well. “By the same token, I also hereby publicly declare my support for the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi,” Gbadamosi said. He recounted how he joined the PDP in Ikorodu in 2008 and remained a loyal member of the party, contributing whatever he could to the growth and development of the party in Lagos state and throughout Nigeria, until he took early retirement from partisan politics in 2017. “I came to recognise that the problems of PDP run quite deep, and their tepid opposition is in fact by the design of some individuals populating the party leadership from top to bottom,” he said. He said that he was motivated that almost all youths, who were not professional politicians or influencers-for-hire, had been popularising Obi’s presidential ambition. He said that Obi had over the years, shown himself to be a creative, prudent and frugal administrator as well as a trustworthy custodian of public funds. Gbadamosi also described the LP vice presidential candidate, as urbane, prudent, practical and principled politician. He said: “These two share a passion for education and knowledge, with Obi’s documented exploits in the education sector as governor of Anambra and Baba-Ahmed’s direct investment in education as Pro-Chancellor of the highly respected Baze University, Abuja. “Both share a disdain for graft and believe in exterminating contract padding. “I find myself left with no choice, when faced with the alternatives, but to publicly throw in my lot with these two fine gentlemen, especially considering that another good Uncle of mine, Dr Doyin Okupe is one of the navigators of their journey and had invited me very much earlier.” https://punchng.com/lagos-pdp-chieftain-declares-support-for-peter-obi/?amp 14 Likes 1 Share

All I see are structures falling into place everywhere. The real progressives fighting to save Nigeria from total collapse are joining forces with Obi while the evil ones are still with BAT because of the enormous loot in his possession. May Nigeria happen to all BATstards since they don't want to have sense. 2 Likes |

GodsOwnMan:Atiku have strong hold in the north please remind me tinubu's strong hold once more. |
Re: Lagos PDP Chieftain Declares Support For Peter Obi by GodsOwnMan: 8:37pm On Aug 05, 2022 |
Abdu81: APC still controls the majority votes in the North. It will even be hard for Atiku to get draw with Tinubu in the North let alone win it outright. If Tinubu wins SW and even draws the North, it is over for Atiku if Obi takes East and SS. If Atiku cannot outtrightly defeat Tinubu in the North then he has to hope to hang on to his 2019 votes in the SS and SE. Otherwise, Atiku is finished. This is why he has to do everything possible to stop Obi or beg him to step down. Mark this down. |
Re: Lagos PDP Chieftain Declares Support For Peter Obi by Vote4ObiDatti: 8:38pm On Aug 05, 2022 |
GodsOwnMan: The joke is actually on you because Atiku already knows he won't get much votes from South so he is now focusing on North which makes things extremely worse for Bat. By the time Atiku completely wrestles North from APC as he is currently doing, Tinubu will now become a full Bat because he won't have any base again whether North or South. 1 Like |
Re: Lagos PDP Chieftain Declares Support For Peter Obi by GodsOwnMan: 8:43pm On Aug 05, 2022 |
Vote4ObiDatti: You are a political novice. APC still controls MOST of the North votes. It is even difficult for Atiku to play draw with Tinubu in the North at the moment. The ONLY way Atiku wins with a North draw is if he maintains his 2019 SS and SE votes. I have crunched the number several times. Atiku has to find a way to beg Obi to step down because even if Obi takes 20% of Atiku's 2019 SS/SE votes, Atiku is finished. Screenshot this for your records. February is not far. 1 Like |

GodsOwnMan:By mentioning APC as a party you are loosing more votes, which control are you talking about, is about the candidates forget party. The few votes that tinubu will get in the core north is because of shettima, maybe borno and kebbi. You can't win presidency without wining your zone, that is the situation that tinubu faces in 2023. He might get up to 50% in the south west. South south 8%, south east 3%. all the christians votes have just vanished totally for tinubu, the youths are 100% against tinubu,the elites, all APC primary election contestants are all against tinubu. Is simply impossible for tinubu go through. The Muslim Muslim destroyed is ambition. And he is very much aware of this. Nigeria is 50/50 christians/Muslims How can you go into a general elections with 50% of your potential votes lost. 1 Like |
Re: Lagos PDP Chieftain Declares Support For Peter Obi by GodsOwnMan: 9:08pm On Aug 05, 2022 |
Abdu81: Your arguments are based on emotions not facts. Tinubu will get at least 65% SW votes. Mark this down. Muslim-Muslim ticket will not affect Tinubu negatively in the SW or North. In fact, it will strengthen his hold in the North. He will still do better than Buhari did in the SE and SS. Go and crunch the numbers. And see for yourself. The ONLY way Atiku wins is IF Obi underperfroms in the SS and SE; and Atiku wrestles the current APC strongholds away from APC (This is very difficult to do. This is why Atiku has been trying to liase secretly with Kwankwaso to edge Kano). If any of these two conditions are not met, Tinubu is the incoming C-IN-C. Mark this down. |
