According to Professor Pat Utomi, Nigerians will reject the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the ruling All Progressives Congress in the general elections of 2023 because they are already sick of them.
The professor of political economy predicted that both the PDP’s Atiku Abubakar and the APC’s Bola Ahmed Tinubu would lose to Labour Party nominee Peter Obi during a live appearance on Politics Today on Channels TV earlier on Tuesday.
Before Obi defected from the PDP to join his team, Utomi was a presidential candidate for the Labour Party, according to Anaedoonline.ng.

Later, Utomi abandoned his bid for the presidency to make room for Obi.
Utomi gave PREMIUM TIMES an explanation of his choice to give up his dream in favor of Mr. Obi a few weeks ago, stating that it was based on “a combination of considerations.”
In order to usher in a period of trustworthy leadership in Nigeria, he claimed that he has been searching for a unique and alternative political platform that will challenge the supremacy of the opposition PDP and the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).
He continued by saying that he is in contact with other parties regarding a potential alliance to provide Nigerians a better political alternative.
Speaking to Channels Tv once more on Tuesday (today), Utomi promised that Obi would win the upcoming 2023 presidential election.

According to him, Obi who was a former governor of Anambra State would retire the presidential candidates of both APC and PDP.
He asserted that Nigerians are tired of the two political parties for their non-performance, stressing that the time has come to save the country.
“Nigeria is at dead end. Nigeria is bankrupt technically. Nigeria cannot pay its debt. Nigerians need a change and that change is Peter Obi”, Utomi said.
