According to Pat Utomi, a political economy expert, two previous chiefs of state support Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate.
According to reports, Utomi spoke at a town hall meeting in Abuja on Friday organized by the BIG-TENT, a coalition of political parties, social movements, and civil society organizations (CSOs) in support of Obi’s presidential ambition.
Utomi, the coalition’s organizer, did not reveal the names of the former state leaders.

He claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lack the LP’s robust organization.
He stated that the group has created “real structures” for the LP to reclaim Nigeria from those who have misruled it.
“Money alone doesn’t win elections. Two former heads of state have said to me they are Obidients. A lot of people want to join the movement without joining the Labour Party to ensure that Obi and Baba-Ahmed win to capture our country back from those who have held us down,” he said.
“The LP has better structures than the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress. When people talk about structures, I kind of laugh because they don’t understand the meaning of structure.
“The structure is a criminal network of people who can fix elections, and we have to stop that; that’s not structure.
Pat Utomi reveals when Peter Obi’s manifestoes will be released to Nigerians
“We at the BIG-TENT have worked at developing real structures and they are going to be shocked at what they will see.
“Many of the Peter Obi support groups have structures on their own that can win these elections. At every poll during the election day, we will have 20 people who belong to these structures.
“When they get to the polling units, it won’t be business as usual. And when they try to mess things up by doctoring information technology from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), they will meet us there because we know they are planning things like that but they will meet us there with technology.”
