2027: Why Peter Obi Is Not Strong Opposition for Tinubu — PDP Chieftain
A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Segun Sowunmi, has said that former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, does not constitute a strong opposition to President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Sowunmi made the remark on Thursday while answering questions during an interview.
According to him, “The people sitting in authority at governors level in the Southeast were not that inspirational. You have to go back and look at the people sitting there now.
“Some of them are delivering on values and assignments. If they are inspirational leaders, none of them can Obi run over just like that. It’s not as easy as that.
“We created that movement believing that we should be able to tour that glass ceiling so that our Southeast brothers can get it done.
“Unfortunately, his inability to tame the excessive bigotry and the anger and the quarrel made a lot of people to push back.”
His comment comes amid tension ahead of the forthcoming presidential elections.
