Atiku: Peter Obi’s LP Lacks Structure — Don’t Expect A Miracle In 2023

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, has dismissed the chances of the Labour Party in the 2023 election.

In an interview on Arise TV on Friday, Atiku stated that the presence of this erstwhile running mate, Peter Obi, cannot boost the chances of the party, because it has no structure.

He said, “I really don’t expect the Labour Party to take as much votes from the PDP as people are suggesting. We could have seen it in the last election in Osun State. What was the performance of the Labour Party?
“This is a party that doesn’t have a governor, doesn’t have members of the national assembly, doesn’t have members of the state Houses of Assembly. And politics in this country depends on structures you have at those various levels; at the local level, at the state level and at the national level.

“It is very difficult for a miracle to happen, simply because Peter Obi is in the Labour Party...Read more: https://www.crispng.com/atiku-peter-obis-lp-lacks-structure-dont-expect-a-miracle-in-2023/

The Moment Obi lost my vote:

Obi supporters are one of the reasons I won’t be voting for Obi next year when I finally get my PVC. The other presidential candidate do not appeal to me as much. But for Obi, having extremists, tribalists and what have you as supporters is a red flag for me. And I’m very certain I’m not the only one.

Edit: Not one of the reasons, it’s alctually the ONLY reason.

tosintoks:
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Obi will never be president of this country. The numbers simply don't back him up. The masses in the North and West wouldn't vote for him. Atiku (as much as I hate to admit it) was right, 90% of Northerners are not on Social Media, so all these online noise making in support of Obu will remain noise making.

9jii:
Obimination will not be president of this country.

BREAKING: Triumph for Biafra as UN tells Nigeria to unconditionally release, compensate Nnamdi Kanu
July 23, 2022

The United Nations, UN Human Rights Council Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, has indicted both Nigeria and Kenya Governments for the arrest and extraordinary rendition, torture and continued detention of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, without due process.

UN therefore, asked Nigerian Government to, “immediate release Kanu unconditionally” and pay him adequate compensations for the arbitrary violation of his fundamental human rights.

It also recommended that Government officials responsible for the torture meted to the IPOB Leader be investigated and punished.

The UN body further directed Nigeria to report back within six months of the transmission of its opinions on Kanu’s matter, steps taken to comply with all the recommendations thereof.

It referred the case of Kanu’s torture to Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment for further consideration

The UN Working Group also threatened to take further action to ensure the recommendations are complied with, noting that both Nigeria and Kenya are signatories to the Convention and should comply.

The 16-page report dated July 20, 2022 was adopted on April 4 by the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention at its 93rd session, held between March 30 – April 8, 2022.

successmatters:
Peter Obi is winning this election.

All the signs are there.

Panda7:
which south south state is peter obi enjoying massive support and popularity and what volume of oil and gas does the south east produce??. better shut up if u don't have any sensible thing to say instead of causing unnecessary tension.

Vote4ObiDatti:
Hmmnn interesting! So this is why the EU are now desperate to restore peace in Eastern Nigeria? This is also partly the reason why they're subtly supporting Peter Obi to win the presidential election.

They know that the gas belt of Nigeria is mainly around Imo, Abia, Rivers and Akwa Ibom. With the secessionists fighting to break away from Nigeria, especially now they're armed will cause so much instability that no meaningful gas exploration and exploitation can take place. With IPOB spreading their tentacles around this region, how can any of these work?

Currently, oil theft has superceded official oil exports and only a smart legislation that gives the communities opportunity to earn directly from crude oil sales with caveat that no oil bunkering activity must happen for them to receive the revenue.

For the interest and progress of this nation, Peter Obi really needs to emerge as president. Since he is currently enjoying massive support and popularity in SS and SE, it will be easy for him to galvanize the locals in these regions and get their cooperation unlike BAT or Atiku. It would even be a disaster if BAT wins because he is already percieved to be anti SE and SS with his antecedents as well as having Muslim-Muslim presidency. With someone like BAT in Aso rock, secessionist struggle will reach alarming heights while Nigeria won't even see up to 100,000 barrels to export due to massive oil theft.

2023 elections is now a matter of life and death for Nigeria. Choose BAT and see the country go under or choose Peter Obi and watch Nigeria become peaceful and prosperous.

DOTian:
Most of Nigerias Gas deposits are around Imo, Abia Anambra and now Enugu. Is God not wonderful? Buhari is strategizing to use South Easternngas to buy over the west at thee expense of the same East! It won't fly.. Gas from Igbo land will NEVER be used to save Nigeria.
The EU delegation should go and discuss with real Igbo leaders and not with the federal Nigeria appointed proxies.

The utterly corrupt Nigerian government has misused trillions of dollars worth of Oil incomes for over half a century now. Oil is running out as the main demand in the international market and these guys want to pivot to gas to continue the maximum looting from where they stopped.
We will not agree..

Gas in Nigeria will flow freely when it's being used to improve the living standards of the real owners and not when it's being used to inflate the pockets of the fulani oligarchs and their agbadorian cousins..
They have already passed all sorts of Evil and dubious legislations to loot these resources. So folks must agitate to no end until the right thing is done..

BankyGee:
Congratulations, but when you enter Federal University and ASUU start dey knack you strike back to back, all those book go go strike for your brain. No cap

Congratulations again

Vote Peter Obi and say bye bye to strike!

Penguin2:
Add the votes he would get from Christians and sane people in Southwest.

Add Taraba

Add some percentage of votes from Christians in Adamawa

Add votes of Southern Kaduna, Southern Bauchi and Southern Gombe.

We are realistically on the path to victory. It’s the reason the fools who make up Tinubu urchins are jittery and hiring fake Bishops.

Ogbeni vote your Obi and allow me to vote whoever I like in peace. Why are Obi's supporters attacking and threatening whoever goes against their Obi?

Is this too early to say It is Impossible?

I was having a conversation with someone this morning & we were looking at the Osun polls. Judging from the Osun state elections, it shows that APC still has strong votes of 375,027 in total, while Adeleke's PDP had 403,371 votes. Most of this same people, if not all will still vote for APC in the coming general elections, meanwhile the other votes might be scattered in the other parties including Labour Party. Yussuff Lasun, the LP candidate, came a distant fifth with 2,729 votes, representing about 0.34 per cent of the total valid votes, according to the results released by INEC.

APC lost on 100,000+ votes, meanwhile Bola Tinubu has decided to go with all Muslim-Muslim ticket, against all odds, Ignoring Northern Youths warnings.

Two Questions:

1/ Realistically, can Bola Tinubu actually win this Election, and on what metrics?

2/ Does the Osun State outcome by Labour Party a verdict on presidential ambition, is there any hope?

Atiku of PDP will surely be voted by the North, so no questions asked about this.

Dapson73:
Jagaban's eyes are on the ball. He's not been carried away by any distraction of unnecessary noise of Muslim/Muslim ticket or others.

I know he must have won many of his present haters to his side by the time he will be celebrating his one year in office come 2024 Insha Allah.

The present haters will celebrate Asiwaju success and performances in the nearest future.

God bless the incoming GCFR.

Superwave16320:
Post something bigger than this I will still vote Bola Tinubu n I am a Christian.

Your Igbo father should do another banner that any Nigerian voting another Fulani Atiku is a bastard n lunatic after another Fulani Buhari spent 8 years ruling the country.

Realist12:
Only Tinubu has attempted and laid foundation for a modern city in Nigeria whilst fulfilling the recurring expenses of the state , he had the visions way before some candidates who are copying from Egypt and his boss thought of presidency, he did it at the state level . The rest of the candidates don't have such vision especially the rabble rousing Obi. If we truly want an advanced Nigeria which will be programmed for solid growth vote Tinubu.

Righteousness2:
Three things are involved here.
1. They are just hirelings whose god is their belly.
2. Or they are just Political thugs picked and gave them cloths of priest to put on.
3. Or they are not aware of what they are doing there.

Whatever be the case, Let me say boldly !
Even if an angel tells you to vote the APC 2023 ticket, reject it! Do not cast your vote for such partnership. If that Destructive and satanic partnership sails, O my GOD! That is receipt of

The wife of Tinubu is an RCCG pastor who has freely practiced her faith even in marriage to a muslim. That is a good testimony of Tinubu's character. Adeboye will endorse Tinubu las las.

Oby Ezekwesili has called out Atiku and PDP over a misleading they made on Twitter. She also asked the party to take down the post as her image was used without consent.

This is coming against the backdrop of the
National Labour Congress, NLC, directive
to its members to embark on a
nationwide protest on July 26 and 27 in
solidarity with the strike by the ASUU.
ANAP General Secretary, Abdulrasaq

7 months? When others have been preparing for the same election since 2019 election.

You people should try and be realistic instead of being optimistic

I keep laughing at the online warriors all over social media declaring victory for Peter Obi and Labour Party when the party itself is disorganised at all levels.

So my older friend who is based abroad but has been involved in various philanthropic work in his state decided to join politics and add value to governance in his federal constituency. He had thought that since LP was making so much noise online, they may be the party to consider considering their supposed closeness to the aspiration of the masses.

He did all he could to get a membership card for LP. He even asked me to help him reach out to the Chairman of the party at the state level (a South Western state), I called the so-called Chairman after getting his number through a family friend, he refused to pick, return calls nor reply messages till date.

I decided to go online, got four numbers from the LP official website, all of them were switched off till date (anyone can confirm this), we sent mails to their official email as provided on their website, yet there was no response till date.

Did a couple of Google search, and called several numbers online provided through the search but they were either switched off or wrong numbers.

My friend got discouraged and decided to reach out to another party - Accord Party. He got registered as a member but unfortunately, they had selected a house of rep candidate for that constituency based on consensus. It is important to tell you all that up till the deadline yesterday, LP has no house of rep candidate nor house of assembly candidate for where my friend came from. Being someone already known in his constituency for his philanthropic works despite residing outside the country plus his passion for good governance and empowerment of youths, he would have been a good candidate for LP.

How can a party having most of its supporters ONLINE not have a proper and reliable means of communicating with the public or prospective members? For a while now, I have stood on the fence about PO and LP, but without sentiments, I can objectively tell you that LP is not ready for national assembly/state assembly/gubernatorial elections, talk more of Presidential elections.

During our search, I stumbled on several tweets on twitter asking how they can access their ward chairman or state chairman of LP to register as members. Days after and for some others - weeks after, they are yet to even get a single response. Perhaps, there are no ward chairmen to begin with, so it's understandable that you cannot give what you do not have.

Labour party will have to do beyond just "making noise online", you need office structures (not just people structures) in wards, local governments etc.
We can see what is happening in Osun State. I have worked as a top INEC ad-hoc staff in previous elections, and the truth remains, if you don't have agents at polling units to protect your votes, anything, just anything can and will happen.

Deprofessional:
It means that south west cannot give block vote to APC.

The votes will be divided.

I didn't even know LP will get any vote at all. But all is well and good.

Meanwhile SE and NC with SS are locked down for LP
