The Labour Party ( LP) on Wednesday said it disagreed with an analysis by THISDAY newspaper which claimed its presidential candidate, Peter Obi is non-existent in some states in the Northern parts of the country.

A THISDAY poll – The Explainer – released by the THISDAY 2023 Election Centre had said Peter Obi is non-existent in Katsina, Jigawa, Kebbi and Zamfara and Borno but has a strong foothold in the South East and South South.

The poll also ranked Obi third behind Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) is placed in fourth position.


However, Speaking with DAILYINDEPENDENT, the Chief Spokesperson of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council (LP-PCC), Dr Yunusa Tanko said contrary to the claim, Obi is popular in all the states of the federation as Labour Party is reaching out to all the 176, 846 polling units in Nigeria.

He said "As we speak today, we are having meeting with all the contestants in the party including the party structures with Peter Obi himself. The idea is not about Peter Obi not existing in Katsina, Zamfara, Kebbi, Borno or Jigawa as claimed by the THISDAY Election Centre. Right now as we speak, Peter Obi is present and popular in all the states of the federation".

"In Labour Party, our targets are the polling units and that is exactly what we are strategising to reach out to and penetrate. Our goal is to reach out to the 176, 846 polling units across the federation. That is our target and we are going to achieve that".

"We believe that will resonate perfectly than having the conventional party structures that we use to have which requires oiling every now and then. The structures that we intend to do will trickle down to all the wards, local governments and states of the federation. Once we can across to all the polling units, they will be our canvassers and they will mobilise votes for Peter Obi in the presidential election".

The labouring in vain party will not stop making person to laugh LP candidate graduated as third class student and no amount of shouting will make him first or second in the real poll.

Jagaban no get rival.

Emi lokan of Nigeria is our next president.

You dey mind that Reuben Abati 'doctored' figures?

Imagine telling us PO will lose Akwa Ibom to Atiku and get only 10% in Ogun. What a joke!

They packaged the whole thing to favour Atiku

They are all forecasting. Real election will tell.

Eyes don dey clear small small. Election is between Tinubu and Atiku, Obi does not exist.

Peter Obi is god of igbo land

it's normal now. It must be rejected in totality since it was not in their favour. But quick to accept ANAP or whatever poll it was called conducted online.
No wahala, February 2023 is just around the corner. Boundary path of a farm would show the extent of the lazy farmer when all cultivated theirs.
(Ala lo ma fi oko OLE han) Omoluabi will relate well .
What a rich language and a rich culture.
Proudly Omoluabis.

Na so. Nairaland will not put Oga Sabinus comedy of Obi, Atiku and Tinibu for people to comment.

Censorship of information no good.

This is just a projection... Not really a poll

Obviously. Peter Obi is a movement that cannot be stopped. He is the next president of Nigeria. APC are just pretenders.

LP come 2023

Please change that headline..
It was not a poll..
Rather their own projection.
Because they never conducted a pool...

Thisday newspaper is not an independent press

Yes, Obi will lose Akwa Ibom to Asiwaju and Atiku, Obi won't even get up to 10% in Ogun State.

Popular where?

Popularity does not equate responsibility

Thisday and other APC government media newspapers and charlatans have a way of dishing out fake hope to agbado urchins out there, for it go soon clare. Na like dis them go do till obi is declared winer next year.

Anything to make agbado urchins happy in this yeltide season is welcome

Cool
Everybody popular for their own way, me self over popular dy worry me.

Why are the Politicians and corrupt wealthy Nigerians scared of Obi's candidacy?

They said he has NO STRUCTURE yet they are all jittery. Even Tinubu & Atiku had to recruit more social media henchmen to sway undecided voters.

Is there something I am missing?

Smh.

I can hardly wait for this election to pass, then some juvenile politicians will understand what it means to contest on a presidential stage. They think this is Ariara market traders association election.

Just a matter of time.

Team LP, there is very little need countering this information. Take it as a feedback to work more on the popularity and reach of Peter Obi

Inferiority complex is worrying LP. APC will never response to such, Jagaban is projected to win with landslide margin.


.

Ladies and Gentlemen I introduce you to the incoming Social Media President Mr Peter Gregory Obi (Tw, Fb, IG, Tk, Yt,)

This day is PDP just as Nations is APC

And what did your employer paying you 20k to spit trash on forums graduate with?

Lol but they accepted the Anap polls. Hahaha Obi people are comedians. Each time I see them at the campaign grounds podiums all I do is laugh hard. They look hungry and ready to devour the country treasury.

Their campaigns always look like homes of jokes to me lol. Obi oooo. The comedian of the year 2022!

Ok
