Olorunnimbe Mamora, minister of science and technology, says it will be a miracle if Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), wins the election.

The former senator representing Lagos central said this when he featured on Political Paradigm, a Channels Television programme, aired on Tuesday.

Obi’s candidacy has continued to dominate discussions on social media ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

Speaking during the programme, the minister said Obi doesn’t have the necessary structure in place to secure victory.

“What I see, with all due respect, is what you can call independent candidacy in Labour, and to the best of my knowledge, even in America, no independent candidate has ever won the presidency,” he said.

“They can win in the senate or house of representatives but not in the presidential. So, it will be a miracle of the century.

“I won’t dismiss it (support for Peter Obi) but it doesn’t seem to me that it will be as such as would cause havoc in this system at the end of the day.

“This is because we do our checks on a regular basis. We look at the spread; we look at the capacity on the ground. You see, you cannot underrate the role of structures in politics and particularly in elections because this is the reality. There are many logistics involved in electioneering,”

He also played down the support the LP and Obi are getting from labour unions and youths.

“The same way all these people are saying they will back Peter Obi is the same way they are saying they will back other candidates, especially those frontline candidates,” he said.

The minister said while he is not underrating other contenders in the presidential race, Bola Tinubu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), remains the best.

“I said with all due respect, no one should underrate anyone. In a contest, you don’t underrate anyone but with all due respect to all these frontliners, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Kwankwaso, of course, those are the faces we see when you tune into any channel,” he added.

“So, you cannot underrate, but I am saying that in spite of that and with all due respect to other candidates, he (Tinubu) is still the number one candidate to beat. That’s the point I am making.”

Mamora also despite the challenge the LP and the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) poses to the APC and PDP, it won’t be enough for either of LP or NNPP to win the election.

“It is part of the growth in the system as far as I am concerned. But again, don’t forget that is just the way it is in all these other countries,” he said.

“Go to the UK. It is not as if you don’t have other parties but we’re talking of the Labour Party and the Conservatives, isn’t it? Go to America — we are talking about Democrats and the Republicans.”

Dis wan go make Peter obi unknown gunmen fight u now

Obidient is a movement and no devil can stop it.

And that miracle will happen in Jesus name

This should be said to Tinubu, Tinubu can never never be president of Nigeria till the next century unless its after the next creation, he has been rejected by power of creation, you can save this in the bank Mark my word, no amount of lies propaganda and any force can make it happen, the power of nature and creation will never allow it , you can save this, this us the word from the ages

I don't think some people understand what is going on in Nigeria. It's insane comparing Nigeria politics to the US or UK where citizens of other countries are migrating to. People here are going through hardship yet you still believe APC will retain power. Isn't that insanity?

All I know is that by miraculously, Obi-Datti will be seated comfortably in Aso rock as the president and vice president of federal republic of Nigeria at the end of next year general elections

Make dem sell Nigeria give me my share abeg

The election was conducted in a small room two months ago. Next year there will be a formal public selection of Peter Obi.
Start preparing yourself for OBJ economic policies under an Obi administration.

Save not safe.. This same you that cannot spell words rightly.. Jesus had the power to save himself on the cross but chose not to.. If he had done that, our salvation wouldn't have come and the prophecies of great prophets of the old would be regarded as lies by people that are shallow minded like you.

The satanic party after Muslim Muslim ticket, fake bishops scandal, open blasphemous of holy communion and now openly voicing that miracles don't work in Nigeria, how bad can Nigeria Christians take it

NigeriaIsGreat:
Lol

Guy you can't even write simple English

Shame on you fool

You switched to using another account of yours just to continue from where you stopped.. You are a lost sheep indeed who has lost focus.. Yea we want nigeria to be great again but wouldn't want to be ruled by politicians who can't speak correct english grammer like you.. Foolish batty looking old urchin.

NigeriaIsGreat:
LOl

You're so daft bro reason why i had to poke nose

You can't be supporting Obi, be dreaming that he will succeed Buhari and still have common sense

E no possible bro

NigeriaIsGreat:
Lol

Druggie supporter spotted,now i know why you are angry like this,hunger don show you shege...

Well considering that there are four serious contenders, three muslims and one christrian, Obi is most likely the winner. The country is split christians and muslims.

Its a simple math. Hausa people are 25%, Yoruba 20.5% Igbo 20.1%. Fulani 5%, Ibibio 3 %, Others 27(split it 13% north central and south south)

95% of igbos, and 85% Ibibios are Voting Obi because the man and his wife are from their tribe. Some Yoruba Christains Say 13% of Yorubas, 40 percent of Middle Belters are Voting Obi, 65% of the rest of the south south is voting obi and Maybe 2 % of the core north.

Tinubu will get luckily 70% of Yoruba Votes and 30 percent of the entire North, 15% South South, 1 % South East.

Atiku 60% North, 20% South South, 2 percent South East ,
Kwankwanso 10% North .

In a two man presidential Race an Influential Northerner with some Southern Votes win. In three man race where a South Westerner is taking away some Votes from the Northern Pie, Game Changes, Swing Votes becomes a person able to Win convincingly in the SS SE and some MB states,

But this is a 4 man race with Kwankwanso walking away with Kano Votes, making the northern pie of votes even smaller.

If Buhari truly uses BVAS voting as promised no other contender has the maths on their side to win OBi. Thats whats all these polls are showing, Its as simple as ABC,

And dont use the regional population to aggregate the number of Voters from the region because alot of people in the SS/SE live in the SW and Abuja. Just look at the nigerian Population Chart and you can easily understand the maths behind the polls.

President Peter Obi is already your president by next year. Start making peace with that..

He has a more national appeal than THIEFNUBUU..
