The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has dismissed a potential threat the candidacy of Peter Obi of the Labour Party can pose to his presidential ambition in 2023.
According to him, Obi has no political structure that can guarantee him victory despite the social media sensation and acceptability of his candidacy.
He noted that the reality remains that the LP does not have people in government nor the National Assembly.
He said expecting Obi to win the 2023 presidential election is expecting miracles, adding that such miracle is difficult to come by.
Atiku made this known while speaking during an interview with Arise TV programme, monitored by New Diplomat on Friday.
In his words, “I don’t expect Labour Party to make as much vote from PDP. We could have seen it in Osun.
“They claim they have 100 million supporters online but you saw what they scored in Osun. In fact, in the North, 90 percent of our people are not on the internet.
“Labour Party that does not have governor, members in the National Assembly, it doesn’t have State House of Assembly members. And politics in this country depends on the structure you have at these various levels.
“Structure at the local government level, State government and national level. So, it is very difficult to expect a miracle to happen simply because Peter Obi is in the Labour Party.”
