The Labour Party’s Peter Obi has no chance of winning the presidency in 2023, according to the All Progressive Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council.
On Wednesday, the council reacted to the endorsements of Obi as their chosen presidential candidate by Chief Edwin Clark and former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

”Chief Clarke in a clannish move endorsed GEJ in 2015, OBJ in 2019 endorsed Atiku. They both lost as they will surely do on February 25, 2023. These men are political undertakers.
