Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, has stated that he is unconcerned about the popularity of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
During a recent interview with the Voice of America (VOA), Atiku claimed this.
“Absolutely not, and that does not concern me,” he replied, “because the demography of the youth varies from area to region, and it is not in all sections of the country that the preponderance of the youth is moving towards Labour in the South or South-East.”

Meanwhile, Dino Melaye, spokesman for the PDP Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), has repeated that Obi cannot win the election, claiming that the excitement of his ‘obedient’ supporters is already fading.
Melaye made this claim while speaking to journalists in Abuja on Sarurday.
Obi, according to Melaye, has no national support to become President of Nigeria in 2023.
The spokeswoman for Atiku’s campaign asked Obi to rejoin the PDP.
Melaye asked Obi to work for the emergence of Atiku Abubakar because “Nigerians cannot afford another four years an APC administration that will “continue with insecurity, kidnapping, banditry, rise in the price of goods and commodities in this country.”

He said, “Nigerians must know that any vote for Peter Obi is a vote for APC. Because Peter Obi cannot make it. So, anybody that is voting for Labour Party is actually voting for Tinubu. Anybody that is campaigning for Peter Obi is actually praying and working for Tinubu to become the President.
“If you are voting for Peter, you are depleting the votes of PDP because Peter cannot make it. Labour Party only fielded 30 out of 109 candidates for the Senate, so who is going to protect the votes of labor party, when even fielding candidates for 109 senatorial districts, they could not. ”
Melaye added that no ethnic champion has ever made it as president of Nigeria.
