The All Progressives Congress, APC, has disclosed its plan to neutralise the influence of the Labour Party presidential aspirant, Peter Obi and his ‘Obidients’ movement as the 2023 general election approaches.
According to the party’s campaign team, plans are underway to adopt strategies to curb the ‘Obidient’ movement ahead of the 2023 general elections.
It was gathered that a party chieftain, who is also said to be the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu’s strategists, who pleased anonymity confirmed that the party has truly intended to devise a strategy to break Obi’s influence.
According to him, Tinubu doesn’t intend to ignore the growing popularity of Obi and his Obidients movement.
They reduced Obi’s chances by saying Lagos belongs to everybody; it is not a bonus for Obi. If there is going to be any increase, which I am sure voter apathy will reduce in this election, tribal and religious sentiments will play an important role. The turnout won’t favour Obi.”
Tinubu’s strategist advanced that
“the average Igbo man is also not talking about Biafra or IPOB now; they are talking about Peter Obi. So, definitely, the Igbo will come out to vote and they will vote for Obi (of the LP) and the PDP in the East.
Our campaign now is that we don’t have a choice in Yorubaland and the South-West apart from the APC. The APC is the only party that has given us the opportunity to have a candidate. So, apart from Asiwaju, the South-West does not have any other person (in the presidential contest).
