Dr. Tanko Yunusa, the spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, has responded to the Northern Leaders Consultative Forum, led by the Dogara Group for endorsing Atiku for President.

In his reaction, Yunusa said, “With reference to Dogara and his political party members, they should go and do the public opinion of the Christians in the north, they will be amazed that what they had was an elitist endorsement, and you can never compare the score that was already generated by them with the result that they would get in the general public of the Christendom in the north.”

“I make bold to say that the population in the north, especially the Christians and other tribes, have unequivocally made their endorsement, and they will vote for Peter Obi, not the purchased endorsement that the Northern Leaders Consultative Forum has just granted.”

He further said that there is no basis whatever to reflect on the fact that what they used as a yardstick to score the candidate was grossly statistically and empirically incorrect, and so as far as we are concerned, if they really want to test the will of the Nigerian people, they should please go to the streets in Jos, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Adamawa itself or in Katsina or Kaduna or in any of the areas in the 19 states of the North or Benue State and make their statistics, and I challenge those particular statistics to see if it will be Atiku Abukakar or Peter Obi.

Recall that a splinter group of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the north led by former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon Yakubu Dogara adopted the candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, as the presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections.

The group under the platform of the Northern Leaders Consultative Forum, comprising Christians and Muslims, adopted the PDP’s candidate, in a voice vote, after the report of its technical committee was presented to its members at a public forum on Friday in Abuja.

IPOB people are still trying to play religious politics, you think Nigerians are stupid.?
Nigerians would rather vote for a native doctor than an IPOB criminal. Useless Nzobu Nzobu people.

socialmediaman:
Tinubu started all this religious divide with his muslim-muslim divisive ticket just to get NE votes, see where it has gotten him.

You can’t insult Christians in Nigeria with an unbalanced ticket knowing fully that:

- Religion is a very sensitive issue in Nigeria

- A muslim-muslim ticket will embolden armed Fulani gangs to continue to unleash mayhem on minorities in the north and parts of the south just like they started doing unchecked after Buhari was elected

- Things like nationwide RUGA and Sharia implementations will come back to the senate once a muslim-muslim ticket succeeds.

Nobody did this to Tinubu and his foolish advisers, they did this to themselves, and that’s part of what makes Tinubu’s ticket the most difficult to sell in the 2023 election

We are now pass the stage of saying NO to Muslim-muslim agenda,we are now at Our Muslim brothers have done their own term,it's not right for them to do an extra term.We have an existing pattern for selecting P, VP since 1999 please let it be respected.
Agreement is Agreement.
The Church will stand full time for Peter Obi.
If you allow Agbado infested urchins decieve you by saying Religion does not matter, knowing fully well that Christian-Christian agenda will never be accepted.

It is the Ipobian trait that runs in their veins, to the wanna be Jews, they are better than all other Nigerian tribes combined.

Labor Party will not even win Senator, Governor or House of Reps (Federal or state) sit in Anambra State.

Ezewuzie01:
It is only the demented Peter Obi who is whipping up religious sentiments to win votes because he knows that if the people focus on merit, no person will vote for a third class philosophy thief who stole state monies to buy breweries for himself and his family. No body will vote for a man under whose governorship poverty more than doubled in Anambra state.
